    net/ethtool: Introduce link_ksettings API for virtual network devices · 9aedc6e2
    Cris Forno authored
    With the ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings function in core/ethtool.c,
    ibmveth, netvsc, and virtio now use the core's helper function.
    
    Funtionality changes that pertain to ibmveth driver include:
    
      1. Changed the initial hardcoded link speed to 1GB.
    
      2. Added support for allowing a user to change the reported link
      speed via ethtool.
    
    Functionality changes to the netvsc driver include:
    
      1. When netvsc_get_link_ksettings is called, it will defer to the VF
      device if it exists to pull accelerated networking values, otherwise
      pull default or user-defined values.
    
      2. Similarly, if netvsc_set_link_ksettings called and a VF device
      exists, the real values of speed and duplex are changed.
