I had a look at your code. To me it looks ok to discard the whole message if there is excess data as it either means that the message was damaged of the receiving end has some significant problems. However, the ticket that is related to the task says that the message should only be truncated: http://osmocom.org/issues/3806

I am fine with abandoning this, if it avoids merge conflicts.
