Code-wise this is ok, but it could cause potential issues because devices will suddenly
have speed (without duplex), and macvlan/8021q are examples which use the lowerdev's
get_link_ksettings. I searched for potential problems with some user-space software
but couldn't find any, so I hope it will be fine. :)
Let's see where this goes.
