You guys really need to sort this out properly.
Please resubmit whatever final solution is agreed upon.

I noticed that v2.6.39 was tagged today. We should definitely remove
NETIF_F_COMPAT so it won't bite us in the future. The other patch that
fixes ethtool_ops->set_flags compatibility is a bugfix, so it should go
in - if we decide that the SFEATURES compatibility should be removed
it won't matter.

Ben, do you agree?

Ping?

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/95552/
(this is a bugfix, so should go to stable)

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/95753/
(removes ETHTOOL_F_COMPAT; this we need to decide on)

You and Ben are still arguing over details.

I want fresh versions of these patches (yes, both of them) once
all of the issues are resolved.
