Why? AFAICS the multi-buffer mode depends on features negotiation, which
is not controlled by the VM user.

Let's suppose the user wants to attach an XDP program to do some per
packet stats accounting. That suddenly would cause drop packets
depending on conditions not controlled by the (guest) user. It looks
wrong to me.

XDP_ABORTED looks like a better choice.
