John Linville asked me to ship the ethtool.8 patch to this list.
That's the first 0001 patch in the enclosures and should be applied
to the ethtool repo.

The others are more syntax fixups for the iproute2 repo.  Some
are things like list syntax errors that you don't notice when
rendering via groff because it has no error checking. Some others
unroll the pseudo-BNF used in some synopses to the standard form
described by DocBook synopsis markup.

There's more work to be done on this.  Expect more patches, now
that I know where to send them.
