I don't find this request very clear. Several questions:
 - What release are you seeking to have this release noted for? tags suggest 17.04 or 17.10 or both, but neither of these are LTS releases, so I have to question whether the tags are correct.
 - Is the lack of persistent mac addresses a problem with the kernel driver? With the underlying hardware?
 - In what environment should we expect to see this problem? Is it POWER-specific?
 - The workaround suggested appears to be a one-off change, that would still not persist across reboots of the system (or perhaps the state persists within the VM, but would not persist across a cold boot). Have I understood correctly? If so, this does not seem like a complete workaround that warrants recommending to users in the release notes.
 - Why is this being suggested as a release notes change, instead of a request for a fix in the implementation?
