The set grew from the poor performance of %BPF_F_TEST_XDP_LIVE_FRAMES
when the ice-backed device is a sender. Initially there were around
3.3 Mpps / thread, while I have 5.5 on skb-based pktgen...

After fixing 0005 (0004 is a prereq for it) first (strange thing nobody
noticed that earlier), I started catching random OOMs. This is how 0002
(and partially 0001) appeared.
0003 is a suggestion from Maciej to not waste time on refactoring dead
lines. 0006 is a "cherry on top" to get away with the final 6.7 Mpps.
4.5 of 6 are fixes, but only the first three are tagged, since it then
starts being tricky. I may backport them manually later on.

TL;DR for the series is that shortcuts are good, but only as long as
they don't make the driver miss important things. %XDP_TX is purely
driver-local, however .ndo_xdp_xmit() is not, and sometimes assumptions
can be unsafe there.

With that series and also one core code patch[0], "live frames" and
xdp-trafficgen are now safe'n'fast on ice (probably more to come).
