It could just be a static inline in some shared header. So there would
be no compile-time dependency.

I understand, but it would be better to limit the MTU here. There is a
(non-jumo) IPV6_MAXPLEN constant.

Looking through the source it seems grev6 does actually check this,
so it would not hurt adding them here, too.

Otherwise, I think your patch is fine.

Greetings,
