This can't be the Fixes: tag, struct xdp_buff didn't even have a "flags"
field when that commit was introduced.

Also, what does this change aim to achieve? It has a Fixes: tag but it's
aimed for net-next. Is it to enable multi-buff XDP support? But we also
have this in place, shouldn't that be deleted too?
