After discussion with bpf maintainers[1], queue_index could
be propagated to the remote XDP program by the xdp_md struct[2]
which makes this todo a misguide for future effort.

But it's not done automatically, so not aware users may get confused.

Instead of just removing the TODO, I believe you should leave a comment
here that the RxQ index gets lots after the frame is redirected, so if
someone really wants it, he/she should use <what the second link says>.
