Jason Xing 4fe815850b ixgbe: let the xdpdrv work with more than 64 cpus
Originally, ixgbe driver doesn't allow the mounting of xdpdrv if the
server is equipped with more than 64 cpus online. So it turns out that
the loading of xdpdrv causes the "NOMEM" failure.

Actually, we can adjust the algorithm and then make it work through
mapping the current cpu to some xdp ring with the protect of @tx_lock.

Here are some numbers before/after applying this patch with xdp-example
loaded on the eth0X:

As client (tx path):
                     Before    After
TCP_STREAM send-64   734.14    714.20
TCP_STREAM send-128  1401.91   1395.05
TCP_STREAM send-512  5311.67   5292.84
TCP_STREAM send-1k   9277.40   9356.22 (not stable)
TCP_RR     send-1    22559.75  21844.22
TCP_RR     send-128  23169.54  22725.13
TCP_RR     send-512  21670.91  21412.56

As server (rx path):
                     Before    After
TCP_STREAM send-64   1416.49   1383.12
TCP_STREAM send-128  3141.49   3055.50
TCP_STREAM send-512  9488.73   9487.44
TCP_STREAM send-1k   9491.17   9356.22 (not stable)
TCP_RR     send-1    23617.74  23601.60
...

Notice: the TCP_RR mode is unstable as the official document explains.

I tested many times with different parameters combined through netperf.
Though the result is not that accurate, I cannot see much influence on
this patch. The static key is places on the hot path, but it actually
shouldn't cause a huge regression theoretically.

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 Restructured Text 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.
