Yes, exactly.

Okay, I've renamed the field name to "first_frame_sz". As this field
only describe the size of the first fragment. This is fits with what
we are currently planning, to only give XDP/eBPF access to the first
fragment in case of multi-buffer XDP. (And then use Daniels idea of a
BPF-helper to pull in more data if explicitly requested).
Still trying to figure out if this is correct for AF_XDP.
And trying if I can get it more correct for non-linear case,
even-though it is not really used in that case.
