I want to see perf reports back to back with proper performance analysis.

I used to be in favor of providing "prog bypass" for af_xdp,
because of anecdotal evidence that it will make af_xdp faster.
Now seeing the numbers and the way they were collected
I'm against such bypass.
I want to see hard proof that trivial bpf prog is actually slowing things down
before reviewing any new patch sets.
