I don't know that another OUI is necessary, setting the local bit is
probably OK, that is what IPv6 has done.
So defining the well known SA GUID to be 0x200000000000002 makes the
address locally administered in which case we don't need to provide a
valid OUI.
I can roll another set with that and the alignment fix.
It is in line with IPv6 (eg IPv6 defines would use ::1, but the local
bit is inverted, unlike IB).

Of course, IBTA should sign off on this plan.
