generating a Linux WWN?

Is there an accepted way to generate a SAS address, when the adapter
does not supply one (NVRAM invalid or missing, etc.)?

Unless somebody complains, I was just planning to use
get_random_bytes(). But maybe Linux has an IEEE id we can use, to make
the practice a bit more legitimate and avoid stomping on others? Or an
IEEE id specifically designed for generated-address purposes?
