I don't know how large is too large, but currently we have

VMSTATE_UINT32_ARRAY(tx_status_fifo, lan9118_state, 512),
VMSTATE_UINT32_ARRAY(rx_status_fifo, lan9118_state, 896),
VMSTATE_UINT32_ARRAY(rx_fifo, lan9118_state, 3360),
VMSTATE_INT32_ARRAY(rx_packet_size, lan9118_state, 1024),

in hw/lan9118.c
