MAC-addresses having the LSB of the first octet set, are considered
multicast-addresses (see [0,1]). LXC (the kernel) does not allow
such a mac-address to be set for a device, thus preventing containers from
starting if a multicast prefix is set (reported in [2] by Alexandre)
This patch introduces 'mac-prefix' (permitting only unicast prefixes) via
register_format and uses it instead of the pattern.
