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: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/96374/ 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.
