[802.3ae_Serial] Support for 10GFC



Folks - 10G Fibre channel intends to use 10G Ethernet PMDs but for a rate that is 2% faster. For serial, this would mean 10.51875 Gbd; for LX4, this would mean 3.1875 Gbd per lane.
 
As a modeling approximation, I modified cell C4 in 10GEPBud3_1_16a.xls to the FC rates. Margins stay positive for all -S variants, but go negative for:
  -0.05 dB for 1310 serial
  -0.21 dB for LX4
 
Possibly any of these are within spreadsheet margin for error, but is there willingness to increase the power budget to drive these margins back positive?
