As it stands right now we are going to pollute the ndo ops and grow
it fatter like the skb (its probably as fat).
If i am not mistaken ethtool has some scheme it uses to pass opaque
objects to different functions. Having a generic
set/get_netdev_offload_attr() would be the right thing to do.
An {id, *value} or {id, len, *value} or a void * would do.
So not objecting - but not ACKing either.
cheers,
