Currently when sending data over datagram, the send function will attempt to
allocate any size passed on from the userspace.

We should make sure that this size is checked and limited. The maximum size
of an IP packet seemed like the safest limit here.

Why not limit to the device MTU?  That's exactly what I suggested
to you.

That's what I ended up doing in the reply to this mail.
