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.

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.
On RHEL5, I got:
util/virrandom.c:66: warning: nested extern declaration of '_gl_verify_function66' [-Wnested-externs]
The fix is to hoist the verify earlier. Also some other hodge-podge
fixes I noticed while reviewing Dan's recent series.
* .gitignore: Ignore new test.
* src/util/cgroup.c: Bump copyright year.
* src/util/virhash.c: Fix typo in description.
* src/util/virrandom.c (virRandomBits): Mark doc comment, and
hoist assert to silence older gcc.
The old virRandom() API was not generating good random numbers.
Replace it with a new API virRandomBits which instead of being
told the upper limit, gets told the number of bits of randomness
required.
* src/util/virrandom.c, src/util/virrandom.h: Add virRandomBits,
and move virRandomInitialize
* src/util/util.h, src/util/util.c: Delete virRandom and
virRandomInitialize
* src/libvirt.c, src/security/security_selinux.c,
src/test/test_driver.c, src/util/iohelper.c: Update for
changes from virRandom to virRandomBits
* src/storage/storage_backend_iscsi.c: Remove bogus call
to virRandomInitialize & convert to virRandomBits
