I could be wrong, but my knee jerk reaction is that from datapath
perspective upper devices are just like any other part of the stack.
They should handle (read: not crash with) unreadable frags. The frags
can be injected in many ways, we can't depend on "lower doesn't do MP"
to catch all the bugs.
XDP is isolated, we can prevent unreadable packets from entering XDP
*completely*. We cannot prevent packets from entering the skb paths.
No?
