First off, I think making the get_perm_addr function into an 
ethtool op is a fine idea.  Also, thanks for catching the 
unmatched bracket; once again I have been humbled by the 
"errant backspace".

I wanted to do this initially, but MAX_ADDR_LEN is declared in 
net device, and ethtool.h doesn't include it.  So, instead of 
creating a new dependency, I added a new constant.  

Let me know what you think, and I'll write up a new patch.
