Hey Jeff.  Hi Kavindya.

I don't know if these are really that important to convert.

I did these when I looked for an example to convert and
I thought "hey, 40 gig's fast, I should start there..."

Recently, I've come to think that ether_addr_equal should
be used almost exclusively and ether_addr_equal_64bits
should only be used on performance sensitive or fast-path
code.

Are any of these on anything like a fast path or are
performance sensitive?

If not, maybe this patch should get tossed.

Well, maybe these 2.

probably not.

probably not.

Dunno.
