This is a preview of the cleanups pending after getting rid of old
ethtool ops from remaining drivers.

Patches inside:
 1. (placeholder for Intel patches)
 2. removal of old ethtool ops
       (most further patches depend on this one)
 3. break association of ETH_FLAG_* with netdev features
       this will allow to change the representation and access pattern
       of the feature sets if later needed; as a bonus, the features
       can be (almost) freely rearranged
 4. introducing netdev_features_t
       use new type wherever features are passed around (this needed
       new include - otherwise linux/skbuff.h would need linux/netdevice.h)
 5. cleanup of feature bits
 6. cleanup of feature name table
       (depends on #5)
 7. prepare ethtool [GS]FEATURES for larger netdev_features_t
 8. tadaaa: 64 bits for features
 9. a lone cleanup patch for NOCACHE_COPY feature

Bear in mind, that I only compile tested the whole series (x86 allyesconfig).
I'll do per-patch builds after all needed patches are in net-next.

Note about netdev_features_t: I don't like the idea of converting it to
bitmap type and building wrappers around, so I won't even try to
implement it. Nevertheless, this series will make the conversion easier
if someone ever wants to go that way.

The idea is to make feature type (by defining netdev_feature_t)
opaque and should handle XX bit integer as well as bitmap types. So
netdev_feature_t typedef-ed to u64 is OK but changes that we make
should be able to handle bitmaps as well to minimize future changes.
