Comparing Mutiqueue Support Linux vs FreeBSD

[Adrian Chadd]

ethtool is just a passthrough. The drivers need to implement all of those hooks.

It wouldn't be that hard to reimplement. The drivers would have to
reimplement it anyway - they'd have to implement the generic set of
standard statistics, then export driver-specific things. You know, the
stuff our drivers already expose via sysctl.
