Add support for transmitting packets via AF_XDP zero-copy mechanism. The packet transmission itself is implemented by igc_xdp_xmit_zc() which is called from igc_clean_tx_irq() when the ring has AF_XDP zero-copy enabled. Likewise i40e and ice drivers, the transmission budget used is the number of descriptors available on the ring. A new tx buffer type is introduced to 'enum igc_tx_buffer_type' to indicate the tx buffer uses memory from xsk pool so it can be properly cleaned after transmission or when the ring is cleaned. The I225 controller has only 4 Tx hardware queues so the main difference between igc and other Intel drivers that support AF_XDP zero-copy is that there is no tx ring dedicated exclusively to XDP. Instead, tx rings are shared between the network stack and XDP, and netdev queue lock is used to ensure mutual exclusion. This is the same approach implemented to support XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT actions.

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.
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.
