Commit fd38f734 (igbvf: convert to ndo_fix_features) removed last use
of old ethtool ops for controlling netdevice's features. This series
finishes the cleanup and extends feature pool to 64 bits.

Also, there's additional patch that removes NETIF_F_NO_CSUM as it is
now, and has been for some time, equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

To see the new features in action, you need ethtool patched with:

Not much has changed in those patches compared to the version I posted
in June. v4->v5 is a rebase to current net-next.

Only compile tested. Kernels newer than 3.1-rcSomething don't boot for
me because of some block layer or dm-crypt issue I don't have time to
debug now. :-(
All applied, thanks a lot for doing this work.
