I can push xsk_fwd to BPF-examples. Though I do think that xdpsock has
become way too big to serve as a sample. It slowly turned into a catch
all demonstrating every single feature of AF_XDP. We need a minimal
example and then likely other samples for other features that should
be demoed. So I suggest that xdpsock dies here and we start over with
something minimal and use xsk_fwd for the forwarding and mempool
example.

Toke, I think you told me at Recipes in Paris that someone from RedHat
was working on an example. Did I remember correctly?
