The current code handles all current HP-UX nettl subsystems.  This section only
applies if the record is a PDU.  The last series of HP-UX drivers (ixgbe, hssn,
igssn, icxgbe) and the forthcoming iexgbe, all use the standard nettl ethernet
record format.  So yes, my opinion is that this is a very safe assumption to
make.
