Patch is ready (all converted to netdev_info).

This mask is only for 'legacy' set_tx_csum ethtool commands. Other
checksumming options - or whatever bits are included in hw_features - can be
toggled by ETHTOOL_SFEATURES.

Sure.

This is compatibility layer for current ethtool tools, and drivers
not converted to ndo_fix_features() and friends.
