And won't work in the general case for guest LANs under z/VM on S/390:
virtual QDIO devices do not, prior to z/VM 4.4, have unique MAC
addresses, as they're purely Layer 3.  In z/VM 4.4 they can have MAC
addresses assigned in their directory entries, but this is a choice the
VM administrator has to make.
