e1000_tx_map() is full of workarounds.

Have a look at last_tx_tso for example.

               /* Workaround for Controller erratum --
                 * descriptor for non-tso packet in a linear SKB that follows a
                 * tso gets written back prematurely before the data is fully
                 * DMA'd to the controller
                 */
                if (!skb->data_len && tx_ring->last_tx_tso &&
                    !skb_is_gso(skb)) {
                        tx_ring->last_tx_tso = false;
                        size -= 4;
                }

Look, this XDP_TX thing is hard to properly implement and test on
various NIC revisions.

Without proper queue management, high prio packets in qdisc wont be sent
if NIC is under RX -> XDP_TX flood.

Sounds a horrible feature to me.
