I do think we can merge this code as-is (and I actually re-factored this
code offlist), but I have some optimizations I would like to try out.

E.g. as I've tried to explain over IRC, it will be possible to avoid
having to reconstruct xdp_rxq_info here, as we can use the
expected_attach_type and remap the BPF instructions to use info from
xdp_frame.  I want to benchmark it first, to see if it is worth it (we
will only save 2 store operations in a likely cache-hot area).
