I like your idea of reusing ndo_xdp_xmit/ndo_xdp_flush.  At NetConf I
think we agreed that the ndo_xdp_xmit API likely need to change. See[1]
slide 11.  Andy Gospodarek and Michael Chan wanted to look into the
needed API changes (Cc'ed) thus, lets keep them in the loop.

I also appreciate that you are thinking about avoiding the DMA-mapping
at TX.  It would be a welcomed optimization.
