need to change the driver to handle multiple enets, yes?

Only some, like the 8xx. Other  configurations  run  just  fine  with
several ethernet interfaces.

Well yes, but the ones which run fine with several ethernet interfaces
are a) generic drivers (tulip, eepro, et al) and b) just work right now
with multiple devices, and I'm not sure why they'd want to care about
bi_recs.

Take the 8260 for an example - it is not a generic driver, and  there
is no existing solution to pass more than one MAC address.

Me.  But it's gotta be made to work sometime.  And as a bonus, Linus is
away for 2 weeks so things probably won't get worse than they are right
now for about 2 weeks. :)

This is not the way I want to work.
