Hi Russell, Doug

With netlink ethtool we have the possibility of adding a new API to
control this. And we can leave the IOCTL API alone, and the current
ethtool commands. We can add a new command to ethtool which uses the new API.

Question is, do we want to do this? Would we be introducing yet more
confusion, rather than making the situation better?

Andrew
