This is a lot of code with only 2 liner commit messages!

Can you please shed more light on what user interface is being used to
program and manage those ACLs, i see it is ethtool from the code but
the cover letter and commit messages do not provide any information 
about that.

Also could you please explain what ethtool interfaces/commands are
being implemented, in the commit messages or cover letter, either is
fine.

Thanks!
