I'd say the other way around, but I might be wrong. (In fact, VPP comes
with their own userspace drivers as well.)

VPP and DPDK has many overlapping components (mempools, drivers), and 
AFAIK (last time I checked) VPP pretty much only used the PMDs from DPDK.

So, from my perspective, a standalone AF_XDP implementation makes much
sense!
