Subject: [RFC ETHTOOL PATCH 0/2] implement MDI-X set

Some users reported issues connecting to some switches, where
they were unable to get link (see kernel.org bugzilla 11998)

This patch series improves ethtool to support controlling the
MDI/MDI-X state of a link.  It also adds support to the "get
settings" function to show if the MDI state was forced or not.

This is currently RFC because internal testing was not completed
but I am sending the patch to make sure the design is good.

Special thanks to Ben Hutchings for his input to this series.
