Mellanox mlx5 AF_XDP zero-copy support code

An internal subdirectory of the Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver that implements AF_XDP (XSK) zero-copy socket support, used to accelerate packet processing on ConnectX-4 and later 25/40/50/100/200/400 GbE NICs from Mellanox/NVIDIA.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a helper subtree inside the mlx5 Ethernet driver that adds AF_XDP zero-copy fast-path support. It has no independent existence and is built and shipped as part of the broader mlx5_core/mlx5e driver.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: this is an internal AF_XDP/XSK support subdirectory within the mlx5 Ethernet driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
