I am not too familiar with Ethernet over HDMI, since I don't own any devices that support it, but I was wondering; would it be possible (in the future) to use this feature on the RPi? Is there anything physically allowing or preventing usage of this?

The SoC doesn't support the ethernet channel, (I have heard) so no it won't ever be supported.

The HDMI port can not receive Ethernet signals. Since it is related topic, the Ethernet cannot receive power. (PoE)

I can confirm: NO Ethernet via HDMI. I plugged my Raspi into my Bravia TV and the TV does not report the Ethernet HDMI interface as active.
When I plug my Blu-ray player (which supports Ethernet over HDMI) into the same HDMI port on the TV then the HDMI Ethernet interface shows up as active using the Bravia diagnostics screen under system menu.
Oh well...

Then how can I control my 512 meg RasPi with my TV remote?
