ffee is part of the real MAC address.  Mar owns a block of Ethernet
addresses. To generate 64b addresses he added the ff:fe.

Mar, are you sure that is right? If you shipped Ethernet devices using
one of your addresses the kernel would convert them to have the ff:fe
and they would conflict. It would make more sense to use anything but
FF:FE. Or is the rule that if you use the 64b version you can't also
distribute the 48b one?
