I very much like this approach.  I believed the ability to use the die
ID to get a unique code was reasonable approach and that is why I
didn't get an EEPROM put onto the BeagleBoard, though Gerald is
looking at adding one on a future revision because the lack of one
wasn't well received.  Minor questions below.

The use of the OMAP die id below makes this OMAP specific and the list
referenced below of the devices to be referenced makes it Panda
specific.  Is there a way to make the list board specific, but to make
these functions that will be used across many OMAP platforms reusable?
 I believe that this current code will result in a lot of
cut-and-paste.  My preference is that this is accepted and that we
make this more general when we add this to other OMAP platforms, but
it'd be great to capture your suggestions on how to do so before those
cut-and-paste patch sets start coming in.

I just want to make sure I understand how this works.  When a new
network device is added, if the device name matches one of the above
listed device paths, then the die id based MAC id is applied.  This
must be done via a device registration notifier as the registration is
triggered when the device is detected.
