It will! See patch 14 in the series that adds a 'cb' field to
xdp_buff_xsk, meaning there's actually space after the xdp_buff struct
being allocated by the xsk_buff_alloc API. The XSK_CHECK_PRIV_TYPE macro
call is there to ensure the cb field is big enough for the struct we're
casting to in the driver.

See above for why this does, in fact, work. I agree it's not totally
obvious, and in any case there's going to be a point where the cast
happens where type safety will break, which is what I was alluding to in
my reply to Stanislav.
I guess we could try to rework the API in xdp_sock_drv.h to make this
more obvious instead of using the casting driver-specific wrappers I
suggested here. Or we could go with Stanislav's suggestion of keeping
allocation etc using xdp_buff and only casting to mlx5e_xdp_buff in the
function where it's used; then we can keep the casting localised to that
function, and put a comment there explaining why it works?

This was actually my original proposal; we discussed this back on v2 of
this patch series. People generally felt that the 'cb' field approach
(originally suggested by Jakub) was better. See the discussion starting
from here:
