Björn Töpel 02b55e5657 xdp: add MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY
Here, a new type of allocator support is added to the XDP return
API. A zero-copy allocated xdp_buff cannot be converted to an
xdp_frame. Instead is the buff has to be copied. This is not supported
at all in this commit.

Also, an opaque "handle" is added to xdp_buff. This can be used as a
context for the zero-copy allocator implementation.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
