The name generic_xdp is a bit confusing in this context given this
is 'native' XDP, perhaps above if (generic_xdp) should have a comment
explaining semantics for tun and how it relates to actual generic xdp
that sits at dev->xdp_prog, and gets run from netif_rx_ni(). Or just
name the bool xdp_handle_gso with a comment that we let the generic
XDP infrastructure deal with non-linear skbs instead of having to
re-implement the do_xdp_generic() internals, plus a statement that
the actual generic XDP comes a bit later in the path. That would at
least make it more obvious to read, imho.
