Actually this new member of struct ethtool_eee is irrelevant to
userspace. It just has to be member of struct ethtool_eee because
that's what we pass to the kernel EEE ethtool callbacks.
OK, in theory we could also pass the new flag as a new member of
struct net_device, but this would be hacky IMO.
