====================
netkit: Support for io_uring zero-copy and AF_XDP

Containers use virtual netdevs to route traffic from a physical netdev
in the host namespace. They do not have access to the physical netdev
in the host and thus can't use memory providers or AF_XDP that require
reconfiguring/restarting queues in the physical netdev.

This patchset adds the concept of queue leasing to virtual netdevs that
allow containers to use memory providers and AF_XDP at native speed.
Leased queues are bound to a real queue in a physical netdev and act
as a proxy.

Memory providers and AF_XDP operations take an ifindex and queue id,
so containers would pass in an ifindex for a virtual netdev and a queue
id of a leased queue, which then gets proxied to the underlying real
queue.

We have implemented support for this concept in netkit and tested the
latter against Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5) as well as Broadcom BCM957504
(bnxt_en) 100G NICs. For more details see the individual patches.
