(Sorry, I replied to v1 and not this v2.)

I'm still unsure about this change, because the XDP-hints will also
contain the rx_queue number.  And placing it in XDP-hints automatically
makes it avail for AF_XDP consumers.

I do think it is relevant for the BPF-prog to get access to the rx_queue
index, because it can be used for scaling the workload.
