[c-nsp] 10/100/1000 speeds in GE SFP ports

I should add that even those ports that do support MDI/X, when speed or
duplex is configured, auto-MDI/X disappears.  Even if 'auto' is not
possible, why not at least me manually set it?  This all forces me to buy
adapters or change cable ends.

On a side note I noticed recently that brand spanking new cat4 E
10/100/1000 copper cards don't do auto MDI/X.
I'm pretty sure that MDI/X or multirate have no significant
cost addition, MDI/X doesn't even have business driver not
to include it. I guess multirate has business driver, force customers
to buy more.
