I was also working on this, but admittedly your version looks better.

Given the fact that this is not "feature complete" compared to the ioctl
interface, isn't it considered a degradation from the user's perspective?

New userspace ethtool will choose the netlink path and some of the
functionality will be lost. I assume rss_ctx.py fails?
