I agree that sample program have this flaw, but it should not stop this
patchset. We need to find a more reliable way of detecting/verifying
that an egress device supports XDP forwarding, from within the BPF prog.
As this sample program hints, we could do a lookup in the devmap, to
get this info(?)
