The question was more like: if I put in a QFE (that was acquired together
with a SUN E250) into x86, would I get duplicate MACs? (Would be strange -
I would have supposed the OF on the card is independent.)
You are not supposed to.  Each HME instance should get a unique
MAC.

Normally OF would propagate this information around to the independant
device nodes, and we should try to preserve this behavior for non-OF
systems.
