Thank you very much for working on this!

you should put your sign off block here, and then end with a triple-dash
"---"

then have your vN: updates below that, so they will be dropped from
final git apply. It's ok to have more than one triple-dash.

This static key stuff is tricky code, but I guess if it works, then it's
better than nothing.

As Maciej also commented, I'd like to see some before/after numbers for
some of the xdp sample programs to make sure this doesn't cause a huge
regression on the xdp transmit path. A small regression would be ok,
since this *is* adding overhead.
