Add support to share a umem between different devices. This mode can be invoked with the XDP_SHARED_UMEM bind flag. Previously, sharing was only supported within the same device. Note that when sharing a umem between devices, just as in the case of sharing a umem between queue ids, you need to create a fill ring and a completion ring and tie them to the socket (with two setsockopts, one for each ring) before you do the bind with the XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag. This so that the single-producer single-consumer semantics of the rings can be upheld.

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.
