Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] tuntap: allow changing ethtool speed (v2)

The data reported by the ethtool interface for tun/tap devices is
artificial. The default speed is 10Mbit. Virtual interfaces are often
faster than this nowadays, so the observed bandwidth may exceed the
available bandwidth. This patch allows an administrator to change the
available bandwidth as reported by ethtool.

v2 - allow setting duplex as well, fix patch formatting
     ignore other settings in set
