That would be changes far deeper than this patch series intended to
do. However, I totally agree with you, but maybe it's something better
to be included in the channels rework you're working on? I'm happy to
help on that, if possible.

But that mapping is not introduced by me, it already existed, and it's
used in efx_xdp_tx_buffers to have a dedicated TX queue for each CPU,
avoiding locking contention (at least when there are enough channels).
XPS is not an option here, at least not one I can think of, for 2 reasons:
1. When doing XDP_TX action, there doesn't even exist an skb, so there
is no information to be used by XPS
2. XPS create mappings to the normal TX queues, for normal traffic,
not for the XDP ones
In fact, when I sent the patches to allow using normal TX queues for
XDP if there are no free channels for XDP, I already tried to use XPS
to do the CPU mapping, and I didn't find the way to do it, because of
point 1.
I think this is because XDP is still very limited in some things,
hopefully it will improve in the future. AFAIK, all drivers are doing
the same or similar approach of one CPU mapped to one dedicated XDP_TX
queue.

This was an already existing bug, that I didn't see, but you're right
we should fix it now. I will submit it to `net`.
