I think we all agree that driver-private tunables are a necessar/unavoidable
evil, but the question is whether dladm should print these by default,
or even by some extensions. Printing the values by default doesn't sound
like a good idea -  the idea behind dladm was to provide uniformity
and predictability, and this would be counter to that goal. 

whether we should support something like "ndd -get /dev/<..> \?" is
a different question.  I concur with Meem that, since the private properties
are really driver specific, information about their syntax and semantics
should be provided with the driver's man page or other documentation
