[RFC,bpf-next,v2,00/24] XDP metadata via kfuncs for ice + mlx5

Message

Alexei has requested an implementation of VLAN and checksum XDP hints
for one more driver [0].

This series is exactly the v5 of "XDP metadata via kfuncs for ice" [1]
with 2 additional patches for mlx5.

Firstly, there is a VLAN hint implementation. I am pretty sure this
one works and would not object adding it to the main series, if someone
from nvidia ACKs it.

The second patch is a checksum hint implementation and it is very rough.
There is logic duplication and some missing features, but I am sure it
captures the main points of the potential end implementation.

I think it is unrealistic for me to provide a fully working mlx5 checksum
hint implementation (complex logic, no HW), so would much rather prefer
not having it in my main series. My main intension with this RFC is
to prove proposed hints functions are suitable for non-intel HW.

On Maciej's request, I provide some numbers about impact of these patches
on ice performance.
ZC:
* Full hints implementation before addition of the static key decreases
  pps in ZC mode by 6%
* Adding a static key eliminates this drop. Overall performce difference
  compared to a clean tree in inconsequential.

skb (packets with invalid IP, dropped by stack):
* Overall, patchset improves performance in skb mode by 2%

Changes since RFC v1:
* new patch: hide some ice hints code behind a static key
* fixed several bugs in ZC mode (ice)
* change argument order in VLAN hint kfunc (tci, proto -> proto, tci)
* cosmetic changes
* analyze performance impact
