Oh, right. Yeah, we've had some offlist discussions about moving the
AF_XDP functionality from libbpf to libxdp in the libbpf 1.0 timeframe.

The AF_XDP functionality of libbpf will be part of libxdp, which is not
in the kernel tree. libxdp depend on libbpf, which includes the core BPF
functionality. For AF_XDP this is a good thing IMO. libxdp includes more
higher lever abstractions than libbpf, which is more aligned to AF_XDP.

Yes, that would mean that you would get another dependency for AF_XDP,
and one that is not in the kernel tree. For most *users* this is not a
problem, in fact it might be easier to consume and to contribute for
most users. We can't optimize just for the kernel hackers. ;-)
