Looking in libpcap sources it seems like our default of 1 MB actually decreases the buffer if mmap is used, should 
the default be increased to 2MB to reflect libpcaps default

That's probably the best answer - on the platforms where libpcap can set the buffer size, if libpcap tries to set it to 
a larger size than is allowed, no error occurs, it's just silently clamped.
