In RHEV, bond speed is always "1000" (1Gbit/s), regardless bond arrangement and slaved NICs speed

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

Bond interfaces are always reported with 1Gbit/s of speed, reflecting in inaccurate Hosts Network Usage graphics:

# vdsClient -s 0 getVdsStats | grep network
        network = {'bond4': {... 'speed': '1000'...}, 'bond0': {...'speed': '1000'...}...

This will reflect in inaccurate network usage graph for the Host in Admin Portal.

e.g. 1GB of txRate for a bond device in active-backup mode with two 10GB nics will cause 100% of network usage in Admin Portal graph. The correct is 10%. If bond mode is Link Aggregation, the correct should be 5%.
