Ravello's MAC prefix (2c:c2:60) is not violating any scheme, but rather must be handled as if it is a virtual interface

Bug Description

The MAC prefix 2c:c2:60 should be treated like 52:54:00 (KVM) and 00:0c:29 VMWare (VMWare):
network devices with a MAC that starts with 2c:c2:60 shall not be persistent.

This MAC prefix belongs to Ravello Systems:
http://hwaddress.com/mac/2CC260-000000.html
http://www.ravellosystems.com

According to /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules of version 204-5ubuntu20, this MAC prefix is in the list of the local MAC address assignment scheme violators, but in fact this MAC always belongs to a virtual interface, such as KVM, VirtualBox and VMWare.

This bug affects Ubuntu Trusty.
(Ubuntu Precise had this bug as well, and already fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1099278).

An upstream patch is attached.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 208-7ubuntu4

---------------
systemd (208-7ubuntu4) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Lower Breaks: to lvm2 again. Our lvm2 package has always used udev for
    device setup, and thus should be compatible with systemd, too.
