Removing mtu 9000 from /etc/network/interfaces, resolved the issue.

I don't think XDP supports 9k jumbo frames - https://www.spinics.net/lists/xdp-newbies/msg00525.html

@Eric Leblond, as we check the MTU we should be able to refuse to start in XDP mode in this case, right? With a helpful error message of course.
