ethtool is now public for all arches in 2.4.0.

Does ethtool need to be updated for you?

Also, due to the great base of existing code for MII phys, I would like
to (if possible) write a single mii_phy.c that takes function pointers
from drivers' mdio_{read,write} functions.  mii_phy.c would implement
ethtool and dev->if_port media interfaces -once-.
