We cannot provide auto-generated unique or persistent namespace identifiers (EUI64, NGUID, UUID) easily. Since 6.1, namespaces have been assigned a generated EUI64 of the form "52:54:00:<namespace counter>". This is will be unique within a QEMU instance, but not globally.
Revert that this is assigned automatically and immediately deprecate the compatibility parameter. Users can opt-in to this with the `eui64-default=on` device parameter or set it explicitly with `eui64=UINT64`.
