Thanks for pointing this out.

One work-around for this issue was added to the omap4 kernel (see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=commit;h=10f38b455e75b85f72e98786e5518cf7b0324634).

So you can force a MAC address at boot-time by adding the smsc95xx.macaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx parameter to the kernel command line.

However, it does not prevent from using your patch that offers a smarter (and as you say more accepted) solution.
