[RFC net-next 0/2] netdevgenl: Add an xsk attribute to queues

[Joe Damato]

Greetings:

This is an attempt to followup on something Jakub asked me about [1],
adding an xsk attribute to queues and more clearly documenting which
queues are linked to NAPIs...

But:

1. I couldn't pick a good "thing" to expose as "xsk", so I chose 0 or 1.
   Happy to take suggestions on what might be better to expose for the
   xsk queue attribute.

2. I create a silly C helper program to create an XDP socket in order to
   add a new test to queues.py. I'm not particularly good at python
   programming, so there's probably a better way to do this. Notably,
   python does not seem to have a socket.AF_XDP, so I needed the C
   helper to make a socket and bind it to a queue to perform the test.

Tested this on my mlx5 machine and the test seems to pass.

Happy to take any suggestions / feedback on this one; sorry in advance
if I missed many obvious better ways to do things.

Thanks,
Joe
