Ben, just FYI, I had to add "linux/vmalloc.h" includes to both
net/core/ethtool.c and drivers/net/sfc/net_driver.h otherwise
the build breaks on some architectures.

x86 can be a really bad arch to validates builds on because it
currently gets vmalloc.h implicitly by some of it's core header files.

In particular, asm/io.h :-/
