I do not see that as an NPF problem.  It expects the network stack to
support certain operations and, in this case, it is a limitation of the
mbuf interface and m_ensure_contig().

Please also see RFC 7112.

I already came across this RFC, but I wasn't sure whether it was really
something we wanted; probably we do.
