There are currently two issues that limit our ability to configure QoS
on certain cards in linux:

1) Firstly, the maximum link speed (which is used as maximum rate in
some tc classes), is obtained from netdev feature bits.
This is quite problematic because netdev feature bits do not keep up
with the new feature bits being added to ethtool. Therefore, cards whose
speed is not supported by OpenFlow currently report an incorrect speed
and this can affect QoS configuration.

This series addresses this problem by adding a new netdev function that
gets the actual link speed so we don't rely on feature bits which are
difficult to keep in sync.

2) The tc layer uses 32bit Bps rates which means we cannot express rates
higher than ~34Gbps.

This series addresses this problem using 64-bit tc attributes when
needed.

v0 -> v1
- Fix style issues.
- Add a test that checks we can expose a 50Gbps speed using a tap
   interface.
- Add an implementation of get_speed for netdev-bsd.
- Expose both HAVE_TCA_HTB_RATE64 and HAVE_TCA_POLICE_PKTRATE64 as AC
   variables and skip tests if the running kernel does not support them.

Adrian Moreno (7):
   netdev: add netdev_get_speed() to nedev API
   netdev-linux: use speed as max rate in tc classes
   netdev-linux: use 64-bit rtab tables
   netdev-linux: use 64-bit rates in htb tc classes
   netdev-linux: remove tc_matchall_fill_police
   netdev-linux: refactor nl_msg_put_act_police
   netdev-linux: support 64-bit rates in tc policing

Sorry, I forgot to add v1 to this series. I'll re-send with the right version.
