According to David's suggestion, I am following mellanox implementation
adding "rx_" prefix for xdp actions on rx path and, based on Jesper's comment,
I am differentiating between XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit.
So, to follow up:

XDP_TX: rx_xdp_tx_xmit
XDP_DROP: rx_xdp_drop
XDP_PASS: rx_xdp_pass
XDP_REDIRECT: rx_xdp_redirect
ndo_xdp_xmit: tx_xdp_xmit

I will post a RFC patch soon.

Regards,
Lorenzo
