How do other multi-port ethernet devices handle this?

I don't think there are many devices out there which have more than
one port.

 Seems that the
cleanest way to handle this would be to add a place for drivers to set
the port number,

So this will require changing all the drivers to put some value there
or we would need to use a default value of 1 for drivers that don't
explicitly set a value.

and export it to userspace in generic code (so everyone
does it the same way).

Something like ethtool? But we still need an entry under
/sys/class/net/ethx/, right?
