We definitely did the same thing, and I'm waiting for our hardware 
implementation to be ready to
push the ethtool + netdim implementation.

Since this commit log is completely copied from the implementation of 
the virtio spec, consulting
each other's scheduling plan in advance can be friendly to avoid us 
doing the same thing and consuming an extra effort.

Thanks.
