Subject: ethtool: missing implementation of n_priv_flags

Was just looking at implementing the driver private flags to add a new feature to 
a driver.

It appears that nothing in the core ethtool.c ever accesses or prints n_priv_flags, 
even if a driver assigns it (which none in the kernel currently do)

Is this just an oversight?
