Subject: New ethtool sub-feature and ethtool-netlink

Hi Michal / John,

I have an ethtool extension in the pipe that adds one more PHY tunable
sub-feature (for Fast Link Down support). Are smaller extensions still
ok for ethtool, or IOW: When do you think is ethtool-netlink going to
be stable enough so that other developers can add features?
