MAAS 2.7 introduced network testing. As part of network testing we added
the following features which require accurate interface and link speed
information.
1. The interface and uplink speeds are now shown in the API and over the UI.
2. MAAS now warns when an interface is connected to an uplink which is slower 
than its maximum supported speed.
3. Users may now acquire machines based on its uplink speed.

I could stop verifying that link speed >= max interface speed however
that will mean 1 is incorrect and 2 is broken. I understand that some
interfaces achieve higher speeds by using more physical ports but
neither ethtool nor LXD give any information on this.

Does anyone know the proper way to calculate the maximum supported
interface speed on a device like this?

** Summary changed:

- Kernel does not report interface speed correctly for Cisco UCS B200 M5 blade
+ MAAS does not properly detect max interface speed for interfaces which use 
multiple phyiscal ports(Cisco UCS B200 M5 blade)
