Then simply add such a generic facility, so other drivers can benefit
from it as well.

I'll be completely honest, and say that I don't anticipate that you
will implement the ethtool option properly, and that it will probably
take 5 or 6 iterations of review of such a patch before we'll be
willing to accept it.  But this is really what you will have to do.

Then you will need to submit a patch to 'ethtool' itself to support
the new options.
