Please add a comment about whos OUI it is.
It is however more normal to use a random MAC address if no other MAC
address is available. That way, you avoid multiple devices on one LAN
using the same default MAC address.

I would try to remove the mac->next_ndev. I think without that, you
will get a cleaner abstraction. You might want to keep an array of mac
pointers in your top level shared structure.
