In this ixgbe driver you are smart and init the xdp.mb bit outside the
(like xdp.frame_sz, when frame_sz is constant). This is a nice
optimization, but the driver developer that adds XDP multi-buffer
support must remember to reset it. The patch itself is okay, it is
just something to keep in-mind when reviewing/changing drivers.
