Then simply add such a generic facility, so other drivers can benefit from it as well. I'll be completely honest, and say that I don't anticipate that you will implement the ethtool option properly, and that it will probably take 5 or 6 iterations of review of such a patch before we'll be willing to accept it. But this is really what you will have to do. Then you will need to submit a patch to 'ethtool' itself to support the new options.
