===============================================================================
This patch makes MAC addresses of network interfaces predictable. In
particular, it adds a small routine that computes MAC addresses of based on
a SHA1 hash of the virtual machine name and interface ID.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
Applies to vanilla kernel 3.9.4.

+ Virtual network devices inside a User-Mode Linux instance must be
+ assigned a MAC (Ethernet) address. If none is specified on the UML
+ command line, one must be automatically computed. If this option is
+ enabled, a randomly generated address is used. Otherwise, if this
+ option is disabled, the address is generated from a SHA1 hash of
+ the umid of the UML instance and the interface name. The latter choice
+ is useful to make MAC addresses predictable.
