I should probably fold 6+7 together anyway, so this was my fault. I think I was originally keeping them separate because the venet was serving as the canonical example for the vbus interface. But Ill just come up with something simpler to demonstrate the interface and merge these two patches. > But it still would be good to have ethtool interface for this. Ack. Will do.
