Well we count them on receive so I guess it makes sense for consistency

Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

however, I really wonder whether adding more and more standard net stack
things like this will end up costing most of XDP its speed.

Should we instead make sure *not* to account XDP packets
in any counters at all? XDP programs can use maps
to do their own counting...
