The closed nature of the USXGMII spec makes it very hard for us to know
whether your implementation is correct or not.

I have some documentation which suggests that USVGMII is a USXGMII link
running at "5GR" rate as opposed to USXGMII running at "10GR" rate.

So, I think 5G mode should be left out until it becomes clear that (a)
we should specify it as USXGMII with a 5G rate, or as USVGMII.
