Title:
  problems with network speed reporting in sysfs on s390

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On an amd64 system with a 1Gb NIC, I can examine
  /sys/class/net/<DEVICE> for various bits of data.  In this case, we
  need link speed.

  For example:

  bladernr@galactica:~/Datacenters/Home$ cat /sys/class/net/enp2s0/speed 
  1000

  However, on my z/VM instance of Xenial on s390, the reported speed is WAY below what it actually is:
  hwe@hwe-zvm1:/sys/class/net/enc600$ cat speed
  10

  iperf confirms that this virtual device is actually functioning at 1Gb
  speeds.  This is causing failures in the cert networking tests that
  probe for reported link speed and then compare that to reported
  maximum speed.

  On a zKVM instance of Xenial, this is even worse as I am completely
  unable to examine /sys/class/net/<DEVICE>/speed at all:

  hwe@s1lp9g003:~$ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed 
  cat: /sys/class/net/eth0/speed: Invalid argument
  hwe@s1lp9g003:/sys/class/net/eth0$ ll

  root@s1lp9g003:/sys/devices/css0/0.0.0001/0.0.0001/virtio1/net/eth0# cat speed
  cat: speed: Invalid argument

  So on zKVM even root is not able to view the current link speed.
