As noted in the other email, your patch breaks ABI.  The proper path is
to decrease the size of reserved struct member, and NOT shift the offset
of other members.



However, perhaps consider the following patch for returning n-tuple
count, for four reasons:

1) space in ethtool_drvinfo is limited

2) the patch below permits trivial string set addition, without
   ABI changes beyond adding a new ETH_SS_xxx constant.

3) the patch below permits direct access to ops->get_sset_count(),
   rather than implicit access via ethtool_drvinfo

4) ethtool_drvinfo interface does not permit indication of 
   ops->get_sset_count() failure, versus returning zero value.  The
   patch below does so, via output sset_mask.

WARNING: this patch is compile-tested only.

NOTE: I added a cosmetic fix to ETHTOOL_[GS]RXNTUPLE constants, making
their indentation consistent with the rest of the list of constants.
