Osier Yang 7c90026db9 npiv: Auto-generate WWN if it's not specified
The auto-generated WWN comply with the new addressing schema of WWN:

<quote>
the first nibble is either hex 5 or 6 followed by a 3-byte vendor
identifier and 36 bits for a vendor-specified serial number.
</quote>

We choose hex 5 for the first nibble. And for the 3-bytes vendor ID,
we uses the OUI according to underlying hypervisor type, (invoking
virConnectGetType to get the virt type). e.g. If virConnectGetType
returns "QEMU", we use Qumranet's OUI (00:1A:4A), if returns
ESX|VMWARE, we use VMWARE's OUI (00:05:69). Currently it only
supports qemu|xen|libxl|xenapi|hyperv|esx|vmware drivers. The last
36 bits are auto-generated.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
