veth is a SW device pair, it can't reasonably support netmem.
Given all the unreasonable features it grew over time we can't
rule out that someone will try, but that's not our problem now.

Sort of, I'd factor out that logic into the core first, as some
sort of "xdp propagate" helper. Then we can add that check once.
I don't see anything bond specific in the logic.

I don't think it's that broad. Not many drivers propagate XDP:

$ git grep -C 200 '\.ndo_add_slave' | grep '\.ndo_bpf'
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c-	.ndo_bpf		= bond_xdp,

$ git grep --files-with-matches  'ops->ndo_bpf' -- drivers/
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c
drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_bpf.c

Protecting the stack from unreadable memory is *the* challenge
in this series. The rest is a fairly straightforward.
