Could we lift this restriction? Not with zero-copy, obviously, but if
there's a copy involved it seems it should be possible to support
several sockets on the same RXQ? That would make it possible to use XDP
as a per-CPU load balancer for a single RXQ, like we can do with cpumap
for packets hitting the stack today?
