I'm really not a fan of this design. Having to update every driver in
order to initialize a field that was fragmented is a pain. At a
minimum it seems like it might be time to consider introducing some
sort of initializer function for this so that you can update things in
one central place the next time you have to add a new field instead of
having to update every individual driver that supports XDP. Otherwise
this isn't going to scale going forward.
