I suppose, I thought you wanted to change it to have separate dump/do
policies? Whatever you like there, I don't really care much :)

I just want to make the uAPI future-proof for now.

At a quick look ethtool doesn't really accept any attributes but
headers for GET requests. DO and DUMP are the same there so it's 
not a priority for me.

This is likely to change, for -x / --show-rxfh-indir / --show-rxfh we
will neeed to specify RSS context id. This is also an example where
different policy for doit and dumpit would make sense.
