I expressed my doubts about ^this if it fails...I was wrong, if that fails,
we've got other problems, IOW virVHBAGetHostByWWN always must feed us a valid
name, since it's fetching it from the filesystem, so we should not have any
problem parsing it, thus extracting @host_num from it.

So, I'm sorry I didn't see it right away, ACK.
