On Linux for zSeries OSA network cards can be shared among various Linuxes. The OSA card has only one MAC address. This leads to duplicate address conflicts in conjunction with IPv6 and a vanilla kernel if more than one Linux use the same card. But the device driver for the card can deliver a unique 16-bit identifier for each Linux sharing the same card. This identifier is placed instead of the part 0xFFFE in the interface identifier.
hmmmm. This sounds fairly specific to a particular situation, I'm not sure all that infrastructure is needed...
