Nope, interrupt context. :-( Another (ugly) way is adding a netns
member to the bpf_redirect_info, that is populated by the driver
(driver changes everywhere -- ick). So no.
(And *if* one would go the route of changing all drivers, I think the
percpu bpf_redirect_info should be replaced a by a context that is
passed from the driver to the XDP program execution and
xdp_do_redirect/flush. But that's a much bigger patch. :-))
