Ah, yes. So you end up with a set of HBAs all of which have provider 
assigned prefix as their own prefix, that point had escaped me. 
Thanks. (And advertise a set of HBAs in DNS. And all reachable even 
without shimming).

I was confused and thought there would be a special shim prefix to 
which the HBA IID would be joined.

Right. Shame, but hey.
