That makes more sense, so I'll send a v3 of this patch. The translation
spec does not provide EUI as a valid translation, so I'll send a proposal
to the sub-committee as well.

Could you clarify something from specifications so I get this right on
the next revision? The EUI64 was an 'M' field in 1.1, but 'O' in 1.2. I
read the spec to require a 1.2 device use either EUI64 or NGUID but not
both. For 1.1, I think I can assume EUI64 is okay. Would it be sufficient
for 1.2 to memcmp() the fields with a zero'ed buffer to know which one
the namespace implements? Or is it possible that neither is implemented
and I have to fall back to the SCSI name string designator type?

Now that I'm looking at the name string type again, the translation looks
broken for 1.0 devices: SPC-4 says the first for bytes are either 'eui.',
'naa.' or 'iqn.', but the translation has it as the UTF-8 representation
of the vendor ID.

right.
