    USB net drivers, ethtool bus_info
    
    This patch makes the USB network drivers that have ethtool support
    expose only those stable IDs ... no more references to unstable values
    like dev->bus->busnum (changes depending on order of modprobe)
    or dev->devnum (assigned not quite randomly during enumeration :).
    
    This supports more intelligent policies for user mode tools, such
    as "always assign this address to the device on that port", as well
    as making troubleshooting more practical when there are multiple
    devices (of a given type) present ... you can tell which is which.
