Using XDP for Egress Traffic

XDP only works for ingress. We found a loophole that lets it work for egress. Here's how we did the impossible.

This is why I am always skeptical when anyone writes that they are the first to do something… the added caveat is always, “that we know of”
"Who did it first" is not interesting to me, but what they're doing isn't a "loophole"; that's all I'm concerned with.
