I find it confusing that this ethtool stats is named "xdp_tx".
Because you use it as an "xmit" counter and not for the action XDP_TX.

Both XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT out this device will increment this
"xdp_tx" counter.  I don't think end-users will comprehend this...

What about naming it "xdp_xmit" ?
