Subject: [PATCH RFC] e1000: Send XDP_TX packets using dev_queue_xmit

In order to use XDP with non multi-queue drivers (such as e1000) we need
a method to handle XDP_TX return code from xdp program. Since there is
only one queue the XDP transmit path needs to share that queue with the
normal stack path, and in order to do that we can't break the existing
stack's mechanisms of locking, qdiscs, and BQL for the queue.

This patch allocates an skbuff when XDP_TX is returned from the XDP
program and call dev_queue_xmit to transmit the skbuff.

Note that this is expected to be a performance hit (which needs to be
quantified) relative to a MQ XDP implementation where we can reserve
queues to be used by XDP. The first intent of these patches is
correctness. This should not affect performance in the XDP_DROP path.

This patch needs to be applied after "e1000: add initial XDP support".

Tested: I've only built this, need to see if I can find some e1000
machines. John, if you could try this that would be much appreciated.
