ethtool: Add reset operation
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive. A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics. This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the use of generic component masks and some future expansion.
