Actually, now that I look more closely, what you have is right.

It is just a very strange and misleading name of a function
'addrconf_addr_eui48' which takes in an eui48 and writes out a IB
GUID. Would have expected 'addrconf_ib_guid_eui48' or something..

Even more confusing because the commit message talks about eui32 and
misses a signed-off-by? Baffling.

.. and there are dragons here, because the IPv6 interface id (eg what
the similar addrconf_ifid_eui48 is handling) uses an inverted U/L bit
to the IEEE EUI-64.

.. and I can't quite recall what the IBTA eventually settled on as the
standard for IB - if it was EUI-64 or modified IPv6 EUI-64 ..
