Maybe we can avoid the ARRAY_SIZE calls by doing something like:

struct netdev_feature_set {
	unsigned int cnt;
	unsigned short feature_bits[];
};

#define DECLARE_NETDEV_FEATURE_SET(name, features...)    \                               
        static unsigned short __ ## name ## _s [] = {features}; \                               
        struct netdev_feature_set name = {               \                               
                .cnt = ARRAY_SIZE(__ ## name ## _s),     \                               
                .feature_bits = {features},              \                               
        }                                                                       

Then:

DECLARE_NETDEV_FEATURE_SET(siena_offload_features,
			   NETIF_F_IP_CSUM_BIT,
			   NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM_BIT,
			   NETIF_F_RXHASH_BIT,
			   NETIF_F_NTUPLE_BIT);

etc.?
