This is a bit too much to have inline. 64 entries 48 bytes each, and we
have 2 of these structures, that's already >4K.

what if an xdp program is attached while this processing
is going on? Flag value will be wrong - is this safe
and why? Pls add a comment.

I wonder whether NET_IP_ALIGN make sense for XDP.

Define a struct for the metadata then?
