These are only refactor ideas, so if you can argue why your internal
feature request for simultaneous generic and native make more sense,
then I'm open for allowing this ?
The request was actually to enable xdpoffload and xdpgeneric at the
same time.  I'm happy to have that as another HW offload exclusive
for now :)
The latter is probably fine, though what's the concrete use case? :)
Reason we kept native vs generic separate is mainly so that native XDP
drivers are discouraged to punt missing features to generic hook instead
of properly implementing them in native mode.

Thanks,
Daniel
