Well, depending on how close the qdisc/xdp APIs end up being we may be
able to reuse the program type but have subtypes (so we could have
"dequeue/xdp" and "dequeue/skb" for instance). But if that doesn't pan
out I do see your point that "dequeue" is a bit too generic; will change
it to 'xdp_dequeue' in that case...
