XDP SQ has a fixed size WQE (MLX5E_XDP_TX_WQEBBS = 1) and only posts one kind of WQE (MLX5_OPCODE_SEND), Also we initialize SQ descriptors static fields once on open_xdpsq, rather than every time on critical path. Optimize the code in light of those facts and add a prefetch of the TX descriptor first thing in the xdp xmit function.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
