Xen devel - Mar 2009 - [PATCH] Disallow bogus MAC addresses when creating new VIF devices

Hello everybody,
I have created a patch to disallow bogus MAC addresses when attaching 
new network interface. This checks the device type in device_create() 
function and when it''s ''vif'' interface, it finds mac
address and tries
to match it using regular expression. If the expression can''t be
matched
(ie. no valid MAC address has been provided), the error is returned and 
entry about attempt to create a virtual network device with bogus MAC 
address is written to the log file.
