lbmk. The `keep` command makes lbmk *skip* changing your current GbE region;
it does not, for example, restore the reference GbE image from lbmk.
The `setmac` command, when not using `keep`, copied the default GbE file within
lbmk for that board, modifying the temporary copy and then inserting that. To
insert the *original file*, without modification, you can do this:
./mk inject libreboot-RELEASE_targetname.tar.xz setmac restore
The `restore` setting does the same as `setmac` (without `keep`), but skips
running `nvmutil`; it also skips building nvmutil. Essentially, this will
restore the default MAC address from standard release images.
The above MAC address is a random example; please make sure to use one that matches
your board, if you wish. You can also use randomisation this way; the `?` character
will be randomised, e.g.:
