I don't see this being the case, and hence I think it is this patch
which introduces such a restriction. As long a patches are less
than 2k, all unspecified families are supported by verify_patch_size()
through its default: case label. (Arguably the name F1XH_MPB_MAX_SIZE
doesn't really fit how it is being used.)
I'm happy about all other changes made here.
