> In "legacy-rx" mode represented by ice_construct_skb(), we can still use XDP
> (and XDP metadata), but after XDP_PASS the metadata will be lost as it
> doesn't get copied to the skb.
> Copy it along with the frame headers. Account its size on skb allocation, and
> when copying just treat it as a part of the frame and do a pull after to "move"
> it to the "reserved" zone.
> Point net_prefetch() to xdp->data_meta instead of data. This won't change
> anything when the meta is not here, but will save some cache misses
> otherwise.
