This patch redesigns the API to set the link speed/s configure for 
an ethernet port. Specifically:

- it allows to define a set of advertised speeds for
  auto-negociation.
- it allows to disable link auto-negociation (single fixed speed).
- default: auto-negociate all supported speeds.

The same modification are missing in mlx5.

Damn.. are the required closed-source libraries for MLX4/5 available somewhere or is there a chance automatic builds can also compile drivers that require external dependencies (like this MLX)?

It is very prone to errors having to guess what is going to happen without being able to compile these drivers.
