That's a good question. Actually, this value is the default
but is configurable in the hardware so I'm not sure this should be a
reserved value. Maybe it would make sense to add it anyway to have the
define shared between the switch driver and the tag driver.

I'm not sure either, the documentation is not really clear on what is
the requirement for the minimal size of a packet. This was the closest
thing I could find about that requirement:
"A frame has a valid length if it contains at least 64 octets and does
not exceed the programmed maximum length"
And the figure associated to the frame show that the frame length
includes the FCS which lead to a 64bytes frame.

I'll check all these numbers and find the correct size that is expected
by the switch.
