[xdp-hints] [PATCH RFC bpf-next 0/9] Introduce XDP-hints via BTF

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>]

This patchset expose the traditional hardware offload hints to XDP and
rely on BTF to expose the layout to users.  More advanced use-case with
driver specific offloads will likely be in followup patches.

The users/consumers are (as described in [1]):
 - XDP BPF-progs
 - XDP to SKB conversion gaining HW offloads
 - AF_XDP can consume BTF info in userspace
 - Chained BPF-progs can communicate state via metadata

This is still RFC as the following features are missing:
 - Exposing XDP-hints indication in AF_XDP descriptor
 - Exporting what XDP-hints structs are avail per driver

Two drivers i40e and mvneta gets XDP-hints in this patchset.
