1) xsk_tx_peek_desc is for zc case and xsk_build_skb is copy mode;
whether we want to affect zc case given the fact that Jason seemingly
cares about copy mode is a good question.

2) I do find it surprising as well. Recent busy polling patches were
also using/targeting copy mode. But from my pow, if people use it, I see
no reason to make it more usable.
