Additional information:

I performed an asymmetric test. One side has 'ethtool -s bp3 advertise 0x20000' and the other side of the link has 'ethtool -s bp3 advertise 0xa0000' (ie. one side is advertising 1G only, the other is advertising 1G+10G). If I bring up the 1G-only side first, followed by the 1G+10G side, then the link properly comes up at 1G. However, if I do the reverse, and bring up the 1G+10G side first, followed by the 1G-only side, there is no link up. I need to bounce the 1G+10G side again (ip set link bp3 down/up) to get the link to come up.
