Subject: [PATCH ethtool 0/2] netlink: improve compatibility with ioctl
 interface

Restore special behavior of "ethtool -s <dev> autoneg on" if no advertised
modes, speed and duplex are requested: ioctl code enables all link modes
supported by the device. This is most important for network devices which
report no advertised modes when autonegotiation is disabled.

First patch cleans up the parser interface; it allows nl_sset() to inspect
the composed message and append an attribute to it if needed.
