I think it would be better to make the second argument a 'flags'
argument and make values > XDP_TX invalid (like we do in
bpf_xdp_redirect_map() now). By allowing any value as return you lose
the ability to turn it into a flags argument later...


Yes, but that adds a run-time check. I prefer this non-checked version,
even though it is a bit less futureproof.
