net/ethtool: Introduce link_ksettings API for virtual network devices
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. Signed-off-by: Cris Forno <cforno12@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
