Add the get_settings callback so that both the ldmvsw and sunvnet
drivers will give a little more information when asked for its
basic settings. These aren't necessarily very useful, but they
make some users happier. Also, a side effect is that the speed
attribute in /sys/class/net/<dev> is now readable, which makes
a couple of the ldom management tools happier.

I would set the speed to something other than zero, and also
I kept looking at that and wasn't sure which value to pretend with. I
looked at what was reported in the Solaris world and saw '0' so went
with that. I suppose using SPEED_10000 shouldn't hurt anything, and is
close enough to observed client-to-client speeds.
consider the ramifications of this change upon things like
'bonding' and 'team'.
The request I was responding to with this was really more targeted at
the ldmvsw (host) side of the connection, the vif device, which I
believe only ever gets connected to the vsw bridge. You're right, tho',
because the eth0 in the ldom client *does* get sucked into teams. I may
drop the sunvnet/client side of this patch and stick with just the
host/ldmvsw side.
Thanks,
