I don't buy the argument that because this is electrical
configuration, it's not subject to ioctls.  We have other interfaces
where electrical configuration (e.g., sync clocking) is configured by
ioctl.  And I'm not sure I buy the argument that nobody else will want
to do this, so having it a special for Edgeport makes sense.

And I definitely agree that the portflag method is ugly.

If you'd be willing to change that portflag string from "Stable"
(which isn't one of the current stability levels anyway) to
"Uncommitted", then I'd give it a +1.
