IB/ipoib: improve ethtool support for older kernels
In non-recent kernels such as the ones used by RH5 the core networking ethtool
code doesn't apply the ethtool_op_get_xxx functions by default, so the driver
has to supply them. Without this patch ethtool -k on ipoib devices would print
wrong information eg:
# cat /sys/class/net/ib0/features
0x11423
# ethtool -k ib0
Offload parameters for ib0:
Cannot get device rx csum settings: Operation not supported
Cannot get device tx csum settings: Operation not supported
Cannot get device scatter-gather settings: Operation not supported
Cannot get device udp large send offload settings: Operation not supported
rx-checksumming: off
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp segmentation offload: on
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off
