As multiple sky2 devices share some of the same hardware, and ethtool
operations are per device, access to transmit timers, eeprom access,
 coalesce, etc. should be serialized.

Only tested on a single port card, as my sky2 doesn't have dual ports.

NAK.
The ethtool operations are already serialized by rtnl mutex at
higher level.  See net/core/dev.c
