Ethtool: Add EEE support
This patch adds 2 new ethtool commands which can be used to manipulate network interfaces' support in EEE. Output of 'get' has the following form: EEE Settings for p2p1: EEE status: enabled - active Tx LPI: 1000 (us) Supported EEE link modes: 10000baseT/Full Advertised EEE link modes: 10000baseT/Full Link partner advertised EEE link modes: 10000baseT/Full Thanks goes to Giuseppe Cavallaro for his original patch.
