My concern with this patch is that iirc netbase isn't MACHINE specific -
so if I have this layer enabled and build for another core2 machine I'll
get these changes there too.
I don't know what the "right" solution to that is, though I muse some
more below.

We can use a MACHINE specific override here, I think.
RDEPENDS_${PN}_sys940x += "genmac"
Ideally we don't want that interfaces file on non-sys940x machines,
perhaps we could name the interfaces file differently and add a
do_install_append_sys940x which installs the MACHINE specific interface
file?
Cheers,
Joshua
