The kernel-side ethtool code supports ETHTOOL_{G,S}FLAGS commands
which can control various features; currently the only feature is LRO.
I didn't see any code to use these in the ethtool git repository
<git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ethtool/ethtool.git>. So here's
a patch that adds that. I tested this with the latest version of the
sfc driver, which we should be re-posting later today.
