Stephen guessed right. We don't need to add yet another "black hole"
(a.k.a. untyped / dynamic) userland interface.
One of two directions is suggested:
* Create a generalized interface, and add new ethtool commands.
* Create a driver-specific ioctl, and submit a patch to userland ethtool
which supports this. Driver-specific / device-specific code in userland
ethtool is acceptable.
Jeff
