That assumes specific layout for the data inside the buffer.  Some NICs
will prepend information like timestamp to the packet, meaning the
packet would start at offset XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM + metadata len..

I think that's very limiting.  What is the challenge in providing
aligned addresses, exactly?
