We have found it useful to be able to set the linkspeed and duplex
settings from the host-side for virtio_net. This obviates the need
for guest changes and settings for these fields, and does not require
custom ethtool commands for virtio_net.
                                                                                                                          
The ability to set linkspeed and duplex is useful in various cases
as described here:                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                          
16032be virtio_net: add ethtool support for set and get of settings                                                       
                                                                                                                          
Using 'ethtool -s' continues to over-write the linkspeed/duplex                                                           
settings with this patch.                                                                                          
                                                                                                                          
The 1/3 patch is against net-next, while the 2-3/3 patch are the associated
qemu changes that would go in after as update-linux-headers.sh should
be run first. So the qemu patches are a demonstration of how I intend this
to work.
                                                                                                                          
Thanks,
