I looked at this quickly it seems like it would work and allow us to avoid
the reset. However, it seems like a lot of churn to avoid a single reset.
I don't see the reset itself as being that bad of an operation. I agree the
reset is not ideal though.
Are there any other use cases for this other than XDP?
