Sure, but I think a savvy user would always check the result of an
ethtool command (ie. `ethtool -K` followed with `ethtool -k`, -A/-a,
etc).

Probably, but it seems the less savviness required from the user the
better.  Regardless, it doesn't affect anything here, it would just be
a change to the userspace tool.

I am intending to modify ethtool so that it will report any other
offload settings that were changed automatically.
