Hi,

I suppose this comes from the current API, but perhaps it'd be
worthwhile to make provision for more flags? Perhaps even using
NLA_BINARY and have "infinitely extensible" flags.

netlink for ethtool came up at netconf/netdev and we had promised to
send some of the ethtool netlink code we have.
We use a generic netlink channel for ethtool between our kernel and
user space driver. This ethtool channel nicely wraps most ethtool
commands into genl messages.
