For the prototype of netdev_features_t is u64, and the number
of netdevice feature bits is 64 now. So there is no space to
introduce new feature bit.

This patchset try to solve it by change the prototype of
netdev_features_t from u64 to structure below:
    typedef struct {
        DECLARE_BITMAP(bits, NETDEV_FEATURE_COUNT);
    } netdev_features_t;

With this change, it's necessary to introduce a set of bitmap
operation helpers for netdev features. [patch 1]

Hey,

what's the current status, how's going?

Hi, Alexander

Sorry to reply late, I'm still working on this, dealing with split the
patchset.

Hey, no worries. Just curious as I believe lots of new features are
waiting for new bits to be available :D

Hey,

Any news?

Sorry， Olek .

Would you like to continue the work ? I thought I could finish this work
as soon as possible, but in fact, there is a serious time conflict.

Oh well, I'm kinda overloaded as well (as always) and at the same time
won't work with the code during the next month due to conferences and
a vacation :z :D
Would I take this project over, I'd start working on it no sooner than
January 2024, so I don't think that would be a good idea.

Anyone else? +Cc Sabrina, there's "netdev_features_t extension"
mentioned next to her name in one interesting spreadsheet :D

Thanks,
Olek
