Early RFC *before* I finish converting all drivers... so I can get
feedback that might affect the design...
XDP have evolved to support several frame sizes, but xdp_buff was not
updated with this information. This have caused the side-effect that XDP
frame data hard end is not known. It also limited the BPF-helper
bpf_xdp_adjust_tail to only shrink the packet.
This patchset tries to address this and add packet tail extend/grow.
The purpose of the patchset is ALSO to reserve a memory area that can be
used for storing extra information, specifically for extending XDP with
multi-buffer support. One proposal is to use same layout as
skb_shared_info, which is why this area is currently 320 bytes.
