Module parameters are a terrible configuration interface, particularly
for settings that really apply to individual devices.

Most distributions provide a way to run ethtool when configuring an
interface; see
<http://sources.debian.net/src/ethtool/1:3.11-1/debian/README.Debian>
and look for ETHTOOL_OPTS in
<https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html>
