Start adding XDP-specific code to libeth, namely handling XDP_TX buffers (only sending). The idea is that we accumulate up to 16 buffers on the stack, then, if either the limit is reached or the polling is finished, flush them at once with only one XDPSQ cleaning (if needed). The main sending function will be aware of the sending budget and already have all the info to send the buffers, so it can't fail. Drivers need to provide 2 inline callbacks to the main sending function: for cleaning an XDPSQ and for filling descriptors; the library code takes care of the rest. Note that unlike the generic code, multi-buffer support is not wrapped here with unlikely() to not hurt header split setups. &libeth_xdp_buff is a simple extension over &xdp_buff which has a direct pointer to the corresponding Rx descriptor (and, luckily, precisely 1 CL size and 16-byte alignment on x86_64).

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.
