To put PHY link down, on PORT_PHYS_ENABLE true, rocker device (qemu)
would need to down the link state for the port so other end of wire
sees link down.  I think I remember looking into that but didn't
implement it.  In qemu monitor, you can manually set the link up/down
(set_link <dev> [on|off]).  We'd need to call the same from within the
rocker device.

So if we want to be able to test this with rocker, we'll need a device
and driver change.
