@Pavel - They are using struct netdev_rx_queue to hold the binding,
which is an object that holds the state and is mapped 1:1 to an rxq.
This object is similar to our "interface queue". I wonder if we should
re-visit using this generic struct, instead of driver specific structs
e.g. bnxt_rx_ring_info?

I'm not entirely familiar with the Netlink API. Mina, do you know if we
can call into netdev_bind_dmabuf or netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit directly,
without needing to call send/recv on a Netlink socket? We likely want
io_uring to do the registration of a dmabuf fd and keep ownership over
it.

Is this mechamism what cleans up TCP devmem in case userspace crashes
and the associated Netlink socket is closed?
