XDP seems to have a bunch of weird restrictions, I just

What if someone decides to extend it to two pages in the future?
Recode it all in all drivers ...

Why can't net core enforce mtu?
And BTW limits on MTU are a problem that will have to be
addressed sooner or later, disabling offloads on the NIC
is one thing, but reconfiguring all of the network
with a lower MTU is another.
