[PATCH] uml: don't roll my own random MAC generator
Use the existing random_ether_addr() instead of cooking up my own version. Pointed out by Dave Hollis and Jason Lunz. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
