Use the new MEM_TYPE_XSK_BUFF_POOL API in lieu of MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY in
mlx5e. It allows to drop a lot of code from the driver (which is now
common in AF_XDP core and was related to XSK RX frame allocation, DMA
mapping, etc.) and slightly improve performance (RX +0.8 Mpps, TX +0.4
Mpps).
rfc->v1: Put back the sanity check for XSK params, use XSK API to get
the total headroom size. (Maxim)
v1->v2: Fix DMA address handling, set XDP metadata to invalid. (Maxim)
v2->v3: Handle frame_sz, use xsk_buff_xdp_get_frame_dma, use xsk_buff
API for DMA sync on TX, add performance numbers. (Maxim)
v3->v4: Remove unused variable num_xsk_frames. (Jakub)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
