Thank you :)  Hopefully {down,up,side}stream consumers that dislike
the logic used to determine the number of management ports will find
it easy enough to isolate that logic with an ifdef now, and everyone
will be happy.  I appreciate the work you put in to maintain
consistency with and without octm in the kernel while keeping the
abstracted MAC allocation interface.
