This makes userspace inclusion a pain, in fact I bet adding
the linux/netdevice.h include will break the build for
somebody.

And what if we want to extend MAX_ADDR_LEN some day?

Probably it is better to define the ethtool object returned to the
user as some kind of TLV, so the size doesn't matter.
