ethtool: future-proof interface for speed extensions
Many virtual and not quite virtual devices allow any speed to be set through ethtool. In particular, this applies to the virtio-net devices. Document this fact to make sure people don't assume the enum lists all possible values. Reserve values greater than INT_MAX for future extension and to avoid conflict with SPEED_UNKNOWN.
