Release Summary:

Resolved issues:

#2976

Description of changes:

Replaces the README.md placeholder with documentation for using the AF_XDP IO provider: pointer to xdp.rs as the reference wiring (per #1765), prerequisites (kernel, capabilities, Git LFS), a veth + netns smoke-test recipe, and lo and syscall::max_queues callouts.

Call-outs:

I started this work by creating a runnable example under examples/xdp-echo/, but the setup ended up being a near copy of xdp.rs. Per #1765 that wiring is intentionally the reference which applications should adapt, with the "easy mode" helper deferred as future work. The actual gap right now which surfaced the issue is discoverability and operational details (LFS, lo, max_queues / veth) to use the provider. Documenting those requirements seems like the reaosnable next step for. However, once we have "easy mode" set up then an example becomes more feasible.

Testing:

Documentation only. Verified the smoke-test recipe end-to-end (QUIC handshake + stream echo over AF_XDP across a veth pair).
