AFAIU libvirt needs a way to:
- Associate a virtual adapter WWN with a VM (in the VM xml)
- Learn to start a virtual adapter when the VM is started, and destroy the
adapter when the VM is stopped.
- Possibly a way to associate a WWN with a scsi pool, to start / stop a
virtual adapter with the pool.

But afer thinking more, I'd think it might be not good idea:
As far as I could understand, the requirement of the BZ wants
a way to create/migrate a guest with NPIV. I'm goint to talk
create first,and migration then.
The desire to assocaite WWNN/WWPN with a VM is just one part of a more
general need to expand libvirt's SCSI support. Paulo started a design
thread on the subject a month or so back which sort of converged into
agreement:
