Is there a good reason to ask drivers to call us back with
xsk_pool_setup_page_pool? For the PP mode, maybe we should add new
XSK_VALIDATE_POOL or something? So most of that fbnic_xsk_setup_pool stays
in core?
I guess I'm mentally trying to have a clear separation between
pp vs non-pp modes. Even that whole xsk_buff_pool might be legacy non-pp
artifact? New drivers shouldn't bother with it? Or is it too much?
