Well I'm biased and say we shouldn't reinvent the wheel with dtc if we
don't need to.  I've sent Jon a patch to start validating this for dtc
and am waiting feedback before I add additional device_types. So we
should have local-mac-address be preassiged hwaddr and mac-address last
used. For some setups this would be the same persistently, but I can
envisage some non OF setups populating mac-address from the card.
