Hi, just wanting to let you know that we're also still very interested 
in this for our cloud-provider use case.

We use XDP to route packets to and from VMs and want to also apply 
firewall rules on the way. For this, we need to buffer/delay reordered 
IP fragments that arrived before the first fragment until we have seen 
the required L4 header.

Having a packet queue for this, like in your patch, that can also be 
dequeued again, would definitively be helpful for that.

We'd also like to implement shaping in the future, so this is also very 
interesting for us.
