The 4.15 kernel does not have native XDP support in the kernel, so
only generic XDP would work for veth. Native XDP for veth is scheduled
for 4.19 kernel. You can test it out from bpf-next kernel tree here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git

There are a couple missing, for full list please see:
