with pktgen(pkt size 64) to compire with xdp_redirect_map(). Here is the
test result(the veth peer has a dummy xdp program with XDP_DROP directly):

5.8 rc1 + patch | xdp_redirect_map_multi i40e->i40e+veth |   3.0M |  0.98M

The bpf_redirect_map_multi() is slower than bpf_redirect_map() as we loop
the arrays and do clone skb/xdpf. The native path is slower than generic
path as we send skbs by pktgen. So the result looks reasonable.

Last but not least, thanks a lot to Jiri, Eelco, Toke and Jesper for
suggestions and help on implementation.

v7: Fix helper flag check
    Limit the *ex_map* to use DEVMAP_HASH only and update function
    dev_in_exclude_map() to get better performance.
Did it help? The performance numbers in the table above are the same as
in v6...
If there is only 1 entry in the exclude map, then the numbers should be
about the same.
Yes, I didn't re-run the test. Because when do the testing, I use null exclude
map + flag BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS. So the perf number should have no difference
with last patch.

Thanks
