Add XDP program attachment via ndo_bpf and execute XDP programs in the
RX path. Supported actions:

   - XDP_PASS: build SKB from the (possibly modified) xdp_buff and 
pass
     to the network stack, handling xdp_adjust_head/tail correctly
   - XDP_DROP: return the page to page_pool, no SKB allocated
   - XDP_ABORTED: same as DROP with trace_xdp_exception

XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT are not yet supported and will return
XDP_ABORTED.

The XDP hook runs after the HW error checks but before SKB 
construction,
so dropped packets avoid all SKB allocation overhead.

Advertise NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC in xdp_features.

Did you intend for that hunk to be deleted?
Yes, (kinda) intentional. Patch 1 moved the csum setup after SKB 
construction
(since we no longer have an SKB at that point), but left the early read
as a dead no-op - patch 3 then removed it. I'll clean this up in v2 by
dropping the dead block directly in patch 1 instead.
