The following series adds some code to generate legal, locally administered
MAC addresses from OMAP4 CPU Die ID fuse data, and then adds a helper at
net/ethernet taking care of accepting device path / MAC mapping
registrations and running a notifier to enforce the requested MAC when the
matching network device turns up.
This looks like something you can solve by user-space entirely. Expose the
That might seem so from a openwrt perspective, where you custom cook the 
whole userland thing per-device, but it ain't so from a generic rootfs 
perspective.

Why should Ubuntu, Fedora etc stink up their OSes with Panda-specific 
workarounds?  And Panda is not the only device with this issue.
