You're not the first to suggest that; that's precisely what I've
suggested in the past (though I probably couldn't find the postings if
I tried now.)  I've seen it all, from people trying to invent ATAGs to
pass ethernet addresses to the kernel, driver specific command lines,
and hard coded ethernet addresses in drivers.

I'm sure David would give full and proper consideration to a clean patch
adding such support in a generic way (even if the resulting answer is
still a 'no'.)
