It's added by the MAC before transmission.

This is permitted by the standard, but in this case it actually appears
to be due to the MAC using 32-bit reads for the data and not masking off
the end. Not sure whether this is a bug in the driver/device, since
technically we may leak up to 3 bytes of memory.

That said, it would be a nice enhancement to generate packets with
non-zero padding as well, since they are an interesting edge case.

Bug fix.

Yes, as noted above we don't generate packets with differing L3 and L4
lengths.
