The hyperv NIC drivers XDP implementation is rather disappointing as it
will be a slowdown to enable XDP on this driver, given it will allocate a
new page for each packet and copy over the payload, before invoking the
XDP BPF-prog.

The only positive thing it that its easy to determine the xdp.frame_sz.

Then XDP is enabled on this driver, XDP_PASS and XDP_TX will create the
SKB via build_skb (based on the newly allocated page). Now using XDP
frame_sz this will provide more skb_tailroom, which netstack can use for
SKB coalescing (e.g tcp_try_coalesce -> skb_try_coalesce).

As explained when I submit the XDP support for hv_netvsc -- without XDP, 
this driver already allocates memory and does a copy for every packet. So 
the page allocation for XDP data buf is not slower than the existing code 
path. Also, an optimization that only allocates a PAGE once, and re-uses it 
in a NAPI cycle will be done.

And, my XDP implementation for hv_netvsc transparently passes xdp_prog 
to the associated VF NIC. Many of the Azure VMs are using SRIOV, so 
majority of the data are actually processed directly on the VF driver's XDP 
path. So the overhead of the synthetic data path (hv_netvsc) is minimal.

Thanks,
- Haiyang
