What is your final design for multi buffer support in XDP?
Why don't you provide a single RFC that is fully functional but instead
you're sending a bunch of separate RFCs?

IMHO it's a weird strategy. Not sure what others think about.

Direct link wouldn't hurt I guess :) Please also include all the previous
discussions that took place on mailing list around this topic. This will
make reviewers life easier I suppose. As I asked above, I'm not sure
what's your final design for this feature.
