Defining driver-specific functions to pass to libeth_xdp functions can
induce boilerplates and/or look a bit cryptic with all those layers of
indirection. On the other hand, this indirection is needed to allow
compilers to uninline big functions even when passed to __always_inline
helpers (too much inlining also hurts performance in some cases), plus
to reuse some XDP helpers in XSk code.
Add macros to quickly build them, with the detailed kdoc. They take
names of the actual callbacks for filling a Tx descriptor and other
purely HW-specific things and wrap them appropriately.
LIBETH_XDP_DEFINE_{BEGIN,END}() is needed for GCC 8+ unfortunately to
let the drivers control which functions will be static and which global
without hitting `-Wold-style-declaration`.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
