I'll change it to >= 256, to catch that we can
not hold such big size in unsigned char [gs]et_arglen and
also as an indication that we have to use allocated buffer
instead of stack.

For now both set and get are privileged operations,
so we can keep it, it can catch if something wrong happens
with the structure sizes.
