I did pass this by them earlier.

The motivation is to have packets which were received on a zero-copy
AF_XDP socket, and which returned a TX verdict from the bpf program,
queued directly on the TX ring (if they're in the same napi context).

When these TX packets are completed, they are placed back onto the
reuse queue, as there isn't really any other place to handle them.

It also addresses Maxim's concern about having buffers end up sitting
on the rq after a ring resize.

I was going to send the TX change out as part of this patch, but
figured it would be better split unto its own series.
