Should you decide to fix this issue in Linux, I would suggest that you either check at runtime whether the MAC unit is implemented (there is a "unit presence" register in the spec), or that you provide a Linux kernel config setting.
If there's a way to check for the presence of the MAC unit at runtime, then we can do some pretty cool, self-modiyfing code tricks for this in Linux. Kernel config settings are really only for stuff that can't be detected at runtime.
