Deprecate AF_XDP support in libbpf ([0]). This has been moved to
libxdp as it is a better fit for that library. The AF_XDP support only
uses the public libbpf functions and can therefore just use libbpf as
a library from libxdp. The libxdp APIs are exactly the same so it
should just be linking with libxdp instead of libbpf for the AF_XDP
functionality. If not, please submit a bug report. Linking with both
libraries is supported but make sure you link in the correct order so
that the new functions in libxdp are used instead of the deprecated
ones in libbpf.

Libxdp can be found at https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
