Pretty good.  One question, why did you not merge link_duplex, autoneg,
and status like:

	struct rte_eth_link {
		uint32_t link_speed;
		uint32_t link_duplex:1;
		uint32_t link_autoneg:1;
		uint32_t link_status:1;
	};

is it really useful to keep a uint16_t for the duplex alone?

Another point, the comment about link_duplex field should point to the
defines you have changed i.e. ETH_LINK_HALF_DUPLEX, ETH_LINK_FULL_DUPLEX.
