You are now enforcing an (almost) static value, is that the intended
behaviour? If yes I would like a better explanation of why this is
relevant and how you picked eg. 0x02 as prefix to justify the change.

In general I am not opposed, even though I kind of liked the idea of
generating random addresses, especially since hwsim is not the only one
to do that and having a simulator that behaves like regular device
drivers actually makes sense IMO.

Also, please wrap the commit log.
