Frank Blaschka 3f9975aa4d qeth: provide get ethtool settings
Load balancing bonding queries the speed of the slave interfaces.
To support a bond consisting of different slave speeds we have to
report the speed by ethtool settings.

Peter Tiedemann cd023216e6 qeth module size reduction.
Replace complex macro for s390dbf calls by equivalent function. This reduces
module size about 10% without visible performance impact.

Ursula Braun 1288372599 qeth: CCL-sequence numbers required for protocol ETH_P_802_2 only
Symptom:     slow CCL response time
Problem:     non-ETH_P_802_2 packets are not delivered to NDH for
             CCL. But CCL detects missing sequence numbers, which
             cause a serious performance problem with CCL.
Solution:    assign sequence numbers only to 802.2 packets.
