You cannot mix fixed speed and autoneg. That's why you need to be able
to configure fixed speeds to be able to talk to old gear that doesn't
support autoneg (or not correctly).

Disabling certain speeds from autoneg is a fringe case compared to that,
but we should support it too. But lets not trade one for the other.
