This is kind of a big escape for the driver. From what I can tell it
looks like the "ethtool -t" test now causes a NULL pointer
dereference.

As far as the patch itself it looks good to me. This should probably
be pushed for any of the other Intel drivers that follow a similar
model as I suspect they were exhibit the same symptom with "ethtool
-t" triggering a NULL pointer dereference.
