Neat! Got actual numbers? :)

I like the simplicity of this check - sure it can be made more
elaborate, but this is a good place to start.

This seems like an awful lot of copy-paste code reuse. Why not keep the
__xdp_map_lookup_elem() (and flags handling) in bpf_xdp_redirect_map()
and call this function after that lookup (using ri->tgt_value since
you're passing in ri anyway)? Similarly, __bpf_tx_xdp_map() already does
the disambiguation on map type for enqueue that you are duplicating here.

I realise there may be some performance benefit to the way this is
structured (assuming the compiler is not smart enough to optimise the
code into basically the same thing as this), but at the very least I'd
like to see the benefit quantified before accepting this level of code
duplication :)
