Re: [PATCH RFC v2 1/8] xdp: Infrastructure to generalize XDP

These hooks are also generic to allow for XDP/BPF programs as well
as non-BPF code (e.g. kernel code can be written in a module).

I don't think we should even remotely consider surrendering the XDP
hook to module code.

We restrict it to eBPF for a reason, because that framework is
restricted in what it can do, what it can access, and how it can do
so.

Tom if you're going to do a cleanup that makes it so that drivers
need less code to support XDP, that is awesome but please do only
that.

Don't combine it with more controversial changes.

Thank you.
