I was configuring zones on a fiber channel switch today and
needed the World Wide port Name info.  I realized it isn't
printed out when the mpi(4) device is discovered.  Digging
into it further I realized it was available at one time
then disabled with this diff
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/ic/mpi.c.diff?r1=1.46&r2=1.47&f=h
now it only prints if MPI_DEBUG is defined.  Is there a
reason the WWpN is not printed by default?  That's like not
printing the MAC address of a NIC when it's discovered.  I
would think configuring a system to run with a fiber
channel switch shouldn't require a reboot to query the BIOS
or running a kernel defined with MPI_DEBUG.
