ieee1394: sbp2: offer SAM-conforming target port ID in sysfs
With "modprobe sbp2 long_ieee1394_id=y", the format of /sys/bus/scsi/devices/*:*:*:*/ieee1394_id is changed from e.g. 0001041010004beb:0:0 to 0001041010004beb:00042c:0000. The longer format fully conforms to object identifier sizes as per SAM(-2...4) and reflects what the SAM target port identifier is meant to contain: A Discovery ID allegedly specified by ISO/IEC 13213:1994 --- however there is no such thing; the authors of SAM probably meant Directory ID). Especially target nodes with multiple dynamically added targets may use Directory IDs to persistently identify target ports. The new format is independent of implementation details of nodemgr. Thus the same ieee1394_id attribute format can be implemented in the new firewire stack. The ieee1394_id is typically used to create persistently named links in /dev/disk/by-id.
