Dave, at least in the ConnectX4 (mlx5e driver), as I commented earlier on this thread, we can use programmed tags reported by the HW on the completion of packets whether the ethtype is ipv4 or ipv6 or something else, and let the kernel branch look into the packet memory on in the last case.
Fair enough.
