Thank you Ivan for taking this more simple approach. If we later see
more drivers wanting this feature of a single RX-queue providing
packets to multiple net_device'es, then we can change into your
more generic API at XDP-reg-layer approach later. For now, we keep
code complexity as low as possible.
