Later you will add 'xdp->mb = 0' here.

Via the names of your functions, I assume that xdp_init_buff() is
called before xdp_prepare_buff(), right?
(And your pending 'xdp->mb = 0' also prefer this.)

Below in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() and netif_receive_generic_xdp() you
violate this order... which will give you headaches when implementing
the multi-buff support.  It is also a bad example for driver developer
that need to figure out this calling-order from the function names.

Below, will it be possible to have 'init' before 'prepare'?
