I really appreciate you are doing this for virtio_net.

My first question is: Is the (packet) page data writable?
(MST might be able to answer?)

As this is currently an XDP requirement[1].

I do see more and more valid use-cases for only implementing XDP_DROP
and not necessarily also implementing XDP_TX.  This does requires that
we implement some kind of feature/capabilities negotiation mechanism[2].
