I'm simply requesting you do not use the (void *)frame pointer address,
to calculate the headroom, as it can be calculated in another way.

The calculation in convert_to_xdp_frame() assures this.  If we later
add an xdp_frame that is not located in the top of data area, and want
to change the reserved headroom size, then we deal with it, and update
the code.
