xsk: Support tx_metadata_len
For zerocopy mode, tx_desc->addr can point to an arbitrary offset and carry some TX metadata in the headroom. For copy mode, there is no way currently to populate skb metadata. Introduce new tx_metadata_len umem config option that indicates how many bytes to treat as metadata. Metadata bytes come prior to tx_desc address (same as in RX case). The size of the metadata has mostly the same constraints as XDP: - less than 256 bytes - 8-byte aligned (compared to 4-byte alignment on xdp, due to 8-byte timestamp in the completion) - non-zero This data is not interpreted in any way right now.
