Since this is part of config_aneg, i assume you have to trigger an
renegotiation, which will put the link down for a while. Is that
actually required? Can the fault indicator be set at runtime without a
full auto-neg? I suppose for a fault indicator, it probably does not
matter, there is a fault... But i'm wondering about future extensions
which might want to send values when the link is up. I've seen some
PHYs indicate their make/model, etc. What sort of API would be needed
for that?

It might also be useful if we could send an event to userspace when
the receive state changes, so there is no need to poll. I thought
something link a linkstate message was broadcast under some
conditions? That again my suggest ksetting is maybe not the best place
for this?

I see no problem in exposing this information, but i would like to be
sure we get the API correct.
