This is wrong.  This lane is connected to a SFP cage which can support
more than just 2500base-X.  Tying it in this way to 2500base-X means
that this port does not support conenctions at 1000base-X, despite
that's one of the most popular and more standardised speeds.

So, I feel I have to NAK this patch in its current form.
