The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE. Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling register_netdev().
