This patch isn't needed anymore. The latest kernels only generate a
random MAC address once on boot which allows you to manually set the MAC
address with this line in your ifcfg-eth0(*) file:
MACADDR=01:02:03:04:05:06
Ah, well, when doing root-over-nfs you probably still need the setting?
Or are the ifcfg-* files included in the initramfs?
Thanks,
Niels

(Also, I need to update my blog post: apparently Ubuntu has a different
patch that generates a mostly-unique MAC address based on the board's
die id.)
