[Bug 1367883] [NEW] Add Microsoft-owned MAC address to 75-persistent-net-generator.rules

[Stephen A. Zarkos]

Public bug reported:

Impact: As Microsoft expands its public cloud offering it may need to
utilize additional MAC address prefixes.  If a user launches a Cloud
instance when the MAC address is from a Microsoft-owned MAC address that
is not in the exclusion list, eth0 is persistently named for the first
NIC seen. If a user rebundles, or the machines has its MAC address
changed (e.g. VM resize or VM is moved to another host), it will lose
network connectivity.

Fix:  Please add the following Microsoft-owned MAC address to the 75
-persistent-net-generator.rules file:

     00:25:ae  Microsoft Corporation

Test Case :
 - Launch Hyper-V VM with MAC address with prefix 00:25:ae
 - Install updated Udev/systemd
 - Delete any existing udev rule
 - Reboot and confirm that no new UDEV rule was added

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided

         Status: New

** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
