The 20 questions document (found in the commitment materials) question 13 
has all of the interfaces and their classifications.  2005/396 "Nemo MAC 
driver interface classification" modifies the MAC driver interfaces to be 
Consolidation Private.

Note that there's no difference between Consolidation Private and 
Contracted Consolidation Private, other than putting a contract in place 
for a Consolidation Private interface automatically makes it Contracted 
Consolidation Private.

I'd add that it would be good to expose these Nemo cases to the 
OpenSolaris community.
