I usually just use the xdp_redirect_cpu samples/bpf program.

Your optimization will help the RX enqueue side, but the bottleneck for
CPUMAP is the remote CPU dequeue.  You should still be able to see that
RX-side performance improve, and that should be enough (even-though
packets are dropped before reaching remote CPU).  I'm not going to ask
you to test scale out to more CPUs.
