Subject: [net-next PATCH 3/3] e1000e: Expose MDI-X status via ethtool change

From: Chaitanya Lala <clala@...erbed.com>

Ethtool is a standard way of getting information about
ethernet interfaces.  We enhance ethtool kernel interface
& e1000e to make the MDI-X status readable via ethtool in
userspace.
