git: 2d741f33bd07 - main - kern: ether_gen_addr: randomize on default hostuuid, too

Hi,

Wouldn't it be user friendly to tell why the MAC is random? Something like this.

 if (strncmp(uuid, DEFAULT_HOSTUUID, sizeof(uuid)) == 0) {
      printf("No /etc/hostuuid found. Fall back to a random mac address.");
      goto rando;
 }

I know it would save me a lot of time if I would encounter this case.
Plus the message is only printed once on boot.

Regards,
Ronald.
