Of course you can't set all 20 bytes, but you still have to provide
them, that is the defined LLADDR format for this device.
1) Kernel demands immutable bits are zero and fills them in
automatically
2) Userspace copies the current LLADDR and only modifies the 8 bytes
of the GUID, kernel demands immutable bits are unchanged
3) Who is to say the QPN can't be made settable someday? People have
complained about the unstable QPN in the past.
