It looks as though our use of the link-layer address as the DHCP client 
identifier (option 61) may be obsolete anyway, since IPoIB devices now 
use 6-byte eIPoIB LEMACs in ll_addr (rather than the 20-byte IPoIB MAC).

Wissam: any objections to switching all link layers (including eIPoIB) 
to place the client UUID in option 61?
