If "this should not happen" really means that we do not expect this issue
at all, assuming we are coding correctly, then all these comments and printfs
should be converted to KASSERTs.

If "this should not happen" means 'such packets shouldn't arrrive from
network", then we need to remove printfs, because having a remotely
triggerable printf(9) is a DDoS vulnerability.
