Store the offset in struct pkt instead of the address. This is important since address is only meaningful in the context of a packet that is stored in a single umem buffer and thus a single Tx descriptor. If the packet, in contrast need to be represented by multiple buffers in the umem, storing the address makes no sense since the packet will consist of multiple buffers in the umem at various addresses. This change is in preparation for the upcoming multi-buffer support in AF_XDP and the corresponding tests. So instead of indicating the address, we instead indicate the offset of the packet in the first buffer. The actual address of the buffer is allocated from the umem with a new function called umem_alloc_buffer(). This also means we can get rid of the use_fill_for_addr flag as the addresses fed into the fill ring will always be the offset from the pkt specification in the packet stream plus the address of the allocated buffer from the umem. No special casing needed.

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.
