Implement compatibility with new hw_features for dev_disable_lro().
This is a transition path - dev_disable_lro() should be later
integrated into netdev_fix_features() after all drivers are converted.

This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
  - new fields in struct net_device:
	+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
	+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
  - new netdev_ops:
	+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
		enabling features or their combinations
	+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
		changed dev->features
  - new ethtool commands:
	+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
		and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
		changed
	+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)

While an interface is down, many implementations of
ethtool_ops::get_link, including the default, ethtool_op_get_link(),
will report the last link state seen while the interface was up.  In
general the current physical link state is not available if the
interface is down.

Define ETHTOOL_GLINK to reflect whether the interface *and* any
physical port have a working link, and consistently return 0 when the
interface is down.

The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are
not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be

Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one
of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2).  It
can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
there.  It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for
user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has
no way of doing so.  This means it is not suitable for use as a
default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags.

Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
change all current callers to pass this parameter.

Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to
call ethtool_op_set_flags().

struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the
ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data
fields.  It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional
commands.  These commands should have been defined to use a new
structure, but it is too late to change that now.

Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition
for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the
additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and
from user-space.

Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of
ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add
a new call.  Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained
from ->get_sset_count().

Hence the "some" in the attached patch to include/linux/ethtool.h,
addressing your comment.

After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately.  This should
not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.

A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.

This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
components to be reset.  Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
those requested, and must indicate the actual subset.  This allows the
use of generic component masks and some future expansion.
