Be careful with the Intel drivers. They have two modes (at compile
time) depending on PAGE_SIZE in system. In one of the modes (default
one) you can place init of xdp.frame_sz outside the NAPI loop and init a
single time. In the other mode you cannot, and it becomes dynamic per
packet. Intel review this carefully, please!
