The result would be that the MAC address is stable after FreeBSD is installed
and a hostid is generated.  However, you argue that the RPi Foundation
documents should control FreeBSD's implementation choices, even for a device
that is not RPi specific.  It seems to me quite wrong to implement an
RPi-specific method in a non-RPi-specific driver.  And the RPi Foundation is
not very cooperative with others attempting to support RPi with other software.
