It looks like Vidya wasn't completely in-sync with you on this! But,
I like that you included the later bits for ethtool-copy.h and that
you added man page updates.

Could you and Vidya get together and post a unified patchset,
please? Or if Vidya posts the updates I requested, I can simply take
your (i.e. Yuval's) patch 3/3 on top of that.
