Should I drop the idea of ethtool and resubmit just the rx_copybreak changes?
(use module parameter to change rx_copybreak value).

Or should I try something like this
3de0b592394d17b 'ethtool: Support for configurable RSS hash key', Create new
ethtool cmd for changing driver rx_copybreak value.

Thanks
