there was a work by David Decotigny that should have solved the out of
bits problem here [1]. Maybe it should be revived.

So it appears we're almost out of bits for new advertised speeds;
I'm currently looking at adding 100g.

Assuming we want [and we do want] to have those in the `supported',
`advertising' and `lp_advertising' fields, the 2 reserve fields in
ethtool_cmd would not be sufficient [unless we break them into 4 u16].
Or are we planning something more generic than this for future bits?
