While this is not needed to serialise the ethtool entry points (which
 are all under RTNL), drivers may have cause to asynchronously access
 dev->rss_ctx; taking dev->rss_lock allows them to do this safely
 without needing to take the RTNL.

Argh, the mutex doubles the size of the state, and most drivers don't
implement this feature.  My thinking was to add a "ethtool state"
pointer to net_device which will be allocated by ethtool on demand
and can hold all ethtool related state.

For psychological reasons primarily (IOW I feel like people shy away
from storing state in the core because it feels expensive to add stuff
to net_device while it would not seem expensive to add it to struct
ethtool_netdev_state).

Maybe we can do the on-demand allocation later - but could we at least
wrap the ethtool-related fields in a separate struct to hold them
together?

Would any other existing net_device fields go in this struct, or is
 it just the RSS stuff so far?

Only wol_enabled possibly, nothing else looks relevant.
But wol_enabled is one bit so up to you if you want to move it.
