xen creates random macs per default I think. And s390 does create macs on 
login or similar? Perhaps someone really using a s390 could comment on this.

But that means for now I have to use
SUBSYSTEMS="xen", GOTO="persistent_net_end"
SUBSYSTEMS="ccwgroup", GOTO="persistent_net_end"

or does 
SUBSYSTEMS="xen|ccwgroup", GOTO="persistent_net_end"
or
...., SUBSYSTEMS!="xen|ccwgroup", ...
work, as this IS just one SUBSYSTEMS per line.
