Subject: [RFC ethtool 0/2] add new ethtool command to support features contained entirely to driver

Currently ethtool doesn't have a command for features entirely belongs to
the driver.

So this patch add cmd "ethtool --set-dev-features <dev> tx-push [on |off]"
and "ethtool --show-dev-features <dev>" for new features contained to the 
driver. Examples are as follow:

1. set tx push mode
$ ethtool --set-dev-features eth2 tx-push on

2. get tx push mode
$ ethtool --show-dev-features eth2

Jie Wang (2):
  ethtool: add has_input struct cmdline_info to record cmdline params
  ethtool: add support to get/set device features
