Add note about traveling MAC address issue
This doesn't fix the issue, but it puts a note where it may be seen in case it affects other U-Boot environment variables. See nerves-project/nerves_system_bbb#151

# IMPORTANT:
22+
# Calling saveenv saves everything. Some of the variables it saves override
23+
# automatically detected defaults and you can't know whether the variable was
24+
# supplied automatically or via the saved environment. There is no way to
25+
# selectively save environment variables. Here are problematic variables:
26+
#
27+
# * ethaddr
28+
# * eth1addr
29+
# * board_name
30+
# * board_rev
31+
# * board_serial
32+
#
33+
# If you move MicroSD cards around between boards, you currently need to clear
34+
# those variables out so that they're detected again. The most visible issue is
35+
# that Ethernet MAC addresses will travel with MicroSD cards. See
36+
# https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_bbb/issues/151.
