I don't know XDP, therefore my review comments don't cover the
functionality. As prerequisite for merging this series somebody
knowing XDP would have to review the functional part.

Some comments would be helpful on which platforms and with which 
chip versions you tested.

Last but not least: I can't support the XDP extension. Therefore I'd ask you
to provide the needed support (incl. monitoring bugzilla.kernel.org) in case
of any problem reports, even if not directly related to XDP.
The XDP changes may brake other stuff.
