Allow low-level drivers to change the feature bit for a vif's underlying

What are you planning to use this for? I'm not really sure I see the
need for an exported function? Is it not going to just be set the same
for all interfaces?
Out of the many netdev feature bits, we can handle maybe a handful in
mac80211, so I'm worried this API will suggest to people they can look
at netdev_features.h...
If the regular ethtool api is implemented, we might could support
some of the features like 'rx-all' that instruct the driver to
pass (more) errored frames up the stack...
But, I have no idea what the original poster was trying to accomplish.
Thanks,
Ben
