Hello all,

I have had the following series of phylib improvements and bugfixes
kicking around in a GIT repository for over a year and I finally
decided to get around to submitting them.

They are some preparatory work for later patches that I am still
working on to support unidirectional ethernet links in phylib.

These patches are currently based on v3.1-rc9; I apologize if these
conflict with any existing ongoing work.  Please let me know and I am
happy to respin against the appropriate tree.

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
