It is very pleasing to see the *huge* performance benefit that page_pool
provide when recycling pages for SKBs (via skb_mark_for_recycle).
I did expect a performance boost, but not around a x2 performance boost.

I guess this platform have a larger overhead for DMA-mapping and
page-allocation.

IMHO it would be valuable to include this result as part of the patch
description when you post the XDP patch again.

Only strange result is XDP_PASS 'Native' is slower that 'SKB-mode'. I
cannot explain why, as XDP_PASS essentially does nothing and just follow
normal driver code to netstack.

Thanks a lot for doing these tests.
