This patch introduces an ioctl way to set an offloaded XDP program
to tun driver. This ioctl will be used by qemu to offload XDP program
from virtio_net in the guest.

I have been looking into running XDP pograms in the TX path of a tap
device [1] where the program is installed and managed by a process in
the host. The code paths are the same as what you are doing with XDP
offload, so how about calling this xdp_prog_tx?

I think it's fine, btw, except for the netlink part there should be no much difference.

Thanks
