We may still want "unknown" here as a setting, because otherwise we
can't support dynamically changing the speed later (if we added say a
qmp monitor command), because the flag would not have been set.

So I am ok with the 10Gps and full duplex defaults, if at least one of
'speed=' or 'duplex=' is supplied, but I would prefer to leave the
"unknown" values as a setting (to still potentially allow dynamic
updates in this case).

Thanks,
