[RFT PATCH 0/9] Cleanup and extension of netdev features

["Michał Mirosław" <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl>]

This is a preview of the cleanups pending after getting rid of old
ethtool ops from remaining drivers.

Patches inside:
 1. (placeholder for Intel patches)
 2. removal of old ethtool ops
	(most further patches depend on this one)
 3. break association of ETH_FLAG_* with netdev features
	this will allow to change the representation and access pattern
	of the feature sets if later needed; as a bonus, the features
	can be (almost) freely rearranged
 4. introducing netdev_features_t
	use new type wherever features are passed around (this needed
	new include - otherwise linux/skbuff.h would need linux/netdevice.h)
 5. cleanup of feature bits
 6. cleanup of feature name table
	(depends on #5)
 7. prepare ethtool [GS]FEATURES for larger netdev_features_t
 8. tadaaa: 64 bits for features
 9. a lone cleanup patch for NOCACHE_COPY feature

Bear in mind, that I only compile tested the whole series (x86 allyesconfig).
I'll do per-patch builds after all needed patches are in net-next.

Note about netdev_features_t: I don't like the idea of converting it to
bitmap type and building wrappers around, so I won't even try to
implement it. Nevertheless, this series will make the conversion easier
if someone ever wants to go that way.

Best Regards,
Michał Mirosław

  net: introduce and use netdev_features_t for device features sets
  net: Define enum for net device features.
  net: ethtool: use C99 array initialization for feature-names table
  ethtool: prepare for larger netdev_features_t type
  net: extend netdev_features_t to 64 bits
  net: move NOCACHE_COPY checks to netdev_fix_features()
