Hi Yi Yang,

Thanks for the patch, it's amazing with so much performance improvement.
I haven't reviewed the code but Yifeng and I applied and tested this patch.
Using netdev-afxdp + tap port, we do see performance improves from
300Mbps to 2Gbps in our testbed!

Will add more feedback next week.
William
