Does it make any difference if the MAC already guarantees that too
long frames, which would violate the next taprio interval, will not
be transmitted? MACs are able to do that, switches not.

The user could be informed, that the MAC is considering the length of 
the frames by accepting any max_sdu value lower than the MTU of the netdev.
