Now that everybody is happy with using the FCP LUN in the SCSI
midlayer, this raises a question from the user's perspective:

sysfs and lsscsi display the LUN as decimal number. For the FCP LUN
0x401040c300000000, sysfs and lsscsi display this:

$ ls -l /sys/bus/scsi/devices/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 21 16:49 0:0:0:1086537744 ->
../../../devices/css0/0.0.0010/0.0.181d/host0/rport-0:0-0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:1086537744

$ lsscsi
[0:0:0:1086537744]disk    IBM      2107900          .270  /dev/sda

Asking a system admin to translate the number to hex (0x40C34010) and
then swap the pairs to get the real FCP LUN (0x401040c3) is too much.

Are there any plans to improve this? Showing the LUN in sysfs as hex
number would be the first step. Or does it make more sense to keep the
decimal number in sysfs and let tools like lsscsi do the conversion?
