Could you at least comment on these points from the cover letter, before I
change/update the patches?

- Should NET_ADDR_RANDOM get reset (to NET_ADDR_PERM) if the MAC address
get changed via SIOCSIFHWADDR/.ndo_set_mac_address and was random before?
- Would it make sense to add a new state (e.g. NET_ADDR_USERSPACE)
if the net address get changed via SIOCSIFHWADDR/.ndo_set_mac_address
from userspace?

Thanks,

Danny
