 1000Base-BX10

Hi,

I'm not entirely convinced that adding support for this is correct,
so I'm going to drop this patch from a re-post of the series today.
Base-PX, being EPON, requires additional layers (eg, MPMC on top of
the MAC to control transmission), and it's not clear whether the
SFP module takes care of this or whether the host has to.
