Preliminary to removing compare_ether_addr altogether:

Use the new bool function ether_addr_equal to add
some clarity and reduce the likelihood for misuse
of compare_ether_addr for sorting.

Additionally:

Used is_zero_ether_addr, removed now unused variable
Converted uses of &foo[0] to foo

Done via cocci script: (and a little typing)

$ cat compare_ether_addr.cocci

There are some fields in "edata" which have not been cleared.  One
example is edata.cmd.  It leaks uninitialized stack information to the
user.

Eliminate some warnings by casting to unsigned long before
casting a dma_addr_t value to a pointer.

btw:

Does slicoss always work on x86-32?
Is a pshmem guaranteed to be accessible
by a 32 bit address?

Instead of performing the hash calculation for the mac address by ourself, we
can simply reuse ether_crc and shift only the result according to our
needs.
The code was tested against the previous implementation by verifying both
implementations against each other in userspace for 16200000000 different
mac addresses, changing the vendor bits of the mac address first.
