======================================================================

Description of problem:

RHV Manager web UI reports virtio nics as being '1000Mbps'. This leads to confusion as user might incorrectly assume that is the maximum performance of a virtio nic. 

This is reported in RHV 4.2 in:

Compute > Virtual Machines > example-vm > Network interfaces > General

Plugged:        Plugged
Network Name:   ovirtmgmt
Profile Name:   ovirtmgmt
QoS Name:       N/A
Link State:     Up
Type:           VirtIO
MAC:            00:1a:4a:16:01:00
Speed (Mbps):   1000
Port Mirroring: Disabled


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Any RHV version reporting virtio interfaces in WebUI.

Comment 1 RHV bug bot 2018-06-21 10:15:49 UTC
It is important to note that all vNIC speeds are "decorative" at best. Still, if we keep reporting a speed, it makes sense to make it a more modern value of 10 Gbps.

According to Amnon, with bug 1545270, this would be the case for in-windows reported speed.

Verified on - 4.2.4.4-0.1.el7_3

Note - Only virtio nics reported as 10gbit in the webUI.
'pci-passthrough', e1000 reported as 1gbit and rtl8139 as 100Mbps.
