I took this for a quick spin, and it's a great improvement over the
status quo; it's not immediately obvious when using xdp_redirect and it
doesn't work, and the stats output is awesome!

Today is my last day before going on vacation for three weeks, and
unfortunately I won't have time to review the code in detail before
then; but wanted to express some encouragement before signing off -
please keep at this! :)
