For z/VM NICs, qeth needs to consider which of the three CCW devices in
an MPC group it uses for requesting a managed MAC address.
On the Base device, the hypervisor returns a default MAC which is
pre-assigned when creating the NIC (this MAC is also returned by the
READ MAC primitive). Querying any other device results in the allocation
of an additional MAC address.
For consistency with READ MAC and to avoid using up more addresses than
necessary, it is preferable to use the NIC's default MAC. So switch the
the diag26c over to using a NIC's Read device, which should always be
identical to the Base device.
