>From an API PoV, could we please prefix these with xdp_*(). Looks like there
is also convert_to_xdp_frame() as an outlier in there, but lets clean these
up once in the tree to avoid getting this more messy and harder to fix later
on. How about:

  - xdp_convert_frame_to_buff()
  - xdp_convert_buff_to_frame()

This will have both more self-documented and makes it obvious from where to
where we convert something.
