Subject: Use the permanent hardware address for physical interfaces
References: bsc#980328
Patch-mainline: v0.8.16
Git-commit: d2c7707a1ab4866e35a6fbbe7a228853c17a340e

The MAC address of a network interface may change (e.g. when the
interface is enslaved in a bond), but its permanent address is
restored after kexec (in kdump environment).
