This series adds support for the not-so-new generic netdev features
ethtool API, along with some test infrastructure and test cases to check
that it works with old and new kernel versions.  I'm still not convinced
that there are enough test cases, but I've held this back for too damn
long already.

I'd like to include these changes in an ethtool 3.4 release by the end
of next week, so let me know if there's anything wrong with them.

Ben.

Slightly off-topic, is anyone working on doing ethtool setting over netlink?

I'm not.  I seem to remember you brought this up at netconf 2010 but I
don't remember what your motivation was.  Were you thinking about being
able to monitor for changes, for example?

Ben.
