New Features
------------
+* **ethdev: define a set of advertised link speeds.**
+
+ Added functionality to Allow defining a set of advertised speeds for
+ auto-negociation, explicitely disabling link auto-negociation (single speed)
+ and full auto-negociation.
+
+* **ethdev: add speed_cap bitmap for link speed capabilities.**
+
+ ``struct rte_eth_dev_info`` has now ``speed_cap`` bitmap, which allows the
+ application to recover the supported speeds for that ethernet device.
