Subject: [RFC net-next 1/6] xdp: reduce size of struct xdp_mem_info

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@...hat.com>

It is possible to compress/reduce the size of struct xdp_mem_info.
This change reduce struct xdp_mem_info from 8 bytes to 4 bytes.

The member xdp_mem_info.id can be reduced to u16, as the mem_id_ht
rhashtable in net/core/xdp.c is already limited by MEM_ID_MAX=0xFFFE
which can safely fit in u16.

The member xdp_mem_info.type could be reduced more than u16, as it stores
the enum xdp_mem_type, but due to alignment it is only reduced to u16.
