Have you measured the impact on perf that this patch yields? On ice XDP
ring pointers are propagated to Rx ring on setup path whereas you
currently retrieve it per each xmitted frame.

AFAIK nr_cpu_ids will give you the max possible cpus on the underlying
system, maybe we should stick to num_online_cpus() instead?

I realized this macro is a bit confusing, maybe it would be better to
prefix it with the driver name, so IXGBE_MAX_XDP_QS would make it clear
what's the scope of it.

Actually it's not the cpu that you're determining, just a queue index in
the xdp_rings array.

Say that your running napi on cpu 72, so your function above will return
you the 8 probably and that's the queue number you will pick and share
with cpu 8.

Can you rename this to ixgbe_determine_xdp_q_idx ?

Good that ixgbe_xdp_ring_update_tail is reused, but probably this could be
a common inlined function that is called on both normal and zc variants of
clean rx irq routine.
