If netlink is the way to go, I think we should stop adding new features to
ethtool and add new features only through netlink.
Some thing like this.
* Create new genetlink for ethtool.
* define doit function for set/get driver parameters.
* For setting ethtool parameters, user program sends nlmsg with only variable
that needs to be set. If some attr is not know to driver, it return error.
* For getting ethtool parameters user program sends nlmsg with get parameters
type, driver sends nlmsg back with only relevant value. Other are assumed 0
by user program
* This should provide backward and forward compatibility, and also should
allow us to add new variables.
What do you guys think?
