I thought there was a change recently making the uapi reference xdp_md;
xdp_buff is not exported as part of the uapi.
Not sure what you mean - other xdp related helper functions still use xdp_buff as an argument. Could you point me to an example of what you are referring to?
a patch from Jakub that is apparently not committed yet.

By STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL I take it you want this to be an L3 hash. Why not
add a flags argument to the helper and let the hash be L3 or L4?
I wrote this exactly how skb_get_hash calls skb_flow_dissect - with the same flag STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL.  So it should already cover L3 and L4 hash, right? From what I understand STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL flag is used to only stop parsing when a flow label is seen in ipv6 packets. 
right; missed that. That means this new helper will always do an L4 hash
for tcp/udp. Adding a flags argument now for the uapi allows a later
change to make it an L3 hash.
