Net policy needs to know device information. Currently, it's enough to
only get irq information of rx and tx queues.

This patch introduces ndo ops to do so, not ethtool ops.
Because there are already several ways to get irq information in
userspace. It's not necessory to extend the ethtool.

    Necessary.

OK. I will extend the ethtool in next version.

Thanks,
Kan

Kan, I don't think Sergei was saying you have to extend the ethtool.
Your spelling of necessary was incorrect in your patch description.

Sergei, please feel free to tell me I am wrong if my assumption on
that is incorrect.
