KASSERT() in little inline functions gives a lot of bloat for such an

Yes, this catches a specific case that hps raised a few years ago:
sending zero-length packets/frames would fail by causing the system to
hang. Should we just document the restriction in the man page and not
try and prevent it at runtime?
That is enough for me, and hps should be the last person to write this
bug :-). If zero lengths can be generated at runtime then they should
be checked for in callers and not handled by panicing.
