Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net: Use device model to get driver name in
 skb_gso_segment()

ethtool operations generally require the caller to hold RTNL and are
not safe to call in atomic context.  The device model provides this
information for most devices; we'll only lose it for some old ISA
drivers.
