Soft wwn is a simple and flexible solution which works in fabric and loop configurations and is platform and server vendor agnostic. It already works with existing HBAs on x86 and should also work on PowerPC or SPARC systems. It is useful for initiators (hardware independence/mobility) and targets (transparent failover/floating wwn). Therefore I like to ask you to revert this patch and not introduce this functional regression.
