Subject: [ethtool PATCH 0/4] v6 Add support for network flow classifier

This series is nearly identical to the last series with only a few changes in
the RX packet classification interface patch.  Specifically I have narrowed
down the rule manager to the point where it is only used to identify a
location for a rule if the rule location is unspecified.  The display
functionality for rules now just pulls the rule list in and goes through the
list from top to bottom displaying the rules instead of initializing the rule
manager and pulling the rules form there.

The main advantage to this approach is that the rule manager could easily be
replaced by a future ioctl call and on the failure of that ioctl call with a
return of EOPNOTSUPP it should be easy to fall back and just use the rule
manager.

Thanks,

Alex
