I think the general per-cpu TX bulk queue is overkill. There is a loop
over packets in veth_xdp_rcv(struct veth_rq *rq, budget, *status), and
the caller veth_poll() will call veth_xdp_flush(rq->dev).
Why can't you store this "temp" bulk array in struct veth_rq ?
You could even alloc/create it on the stack of veth_poll() and send it
along via a pointer to veth_xdp_rcv).
