This patch set introduces new infrastructure for programmatically
processing packets in the earliest stages of rx, as part of an effort
others are calling eXpress Data Path (XDP) [1]. Start this effort by
introducing a new bpf program type for early packet filtering, before
even an skb has been allocated.

Extend on this with the ability to modify packet data and send back
out
on the same port.

Series applied, thanks.

Hi Dave,

The series causes compilation errors in our driver (and warnings).
Please revert it.

Asking for a revert in such a knee-jerk reaction like this is not
appropriate.

Never ask me to do this.

Why don't you try to figure out what the simple fix is instead?

Meanwhile I've already pushed out the appropriate fix.
