If you want to test the new features approach, you can shave top bit
off NETIF_F_GSO_MASK (there are two unused bits there). The
introducing patch will be +2 lines (+1 dev.c, +1 ethtool.c),
implementation in e100: 20 lines less than patch you sent, ethtool
userspace changes: none (assuming
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/96374/ or equivalent applied).
