don't need,
1. good hw design should use one serial EEPROM to store MAC address, So when
flash the BIOS, the EEPROM is still there.
in ck804_nic.c will read MAC from serial EEPROM in SMBUS (bus num
and device num is set in Mainboard Config.lb), at first.
2. even for bad design, you can keep your own romstrap.inc/lds in your
mainboard dir, and modify Config.lb to point corrent file.
In such case, you need special flash util to keep your MAC address
or read the MAC address at first, and then set it back....
