Enhance POWERVC zoning to allow different group of ports to be zoned per VM HBA port.

Today, POWERVC 1.3.3.1 is able to blacklist SVC ports and then determine which ports of SVC should be zoned to VM HBA ports. However, with the use of "Use all available WWPNs for attachment:" all VM ports connected to each fabric will be zoned to all SVC host ports available.
As POWERVC does not have any way to diferentiate groups of SVC ports per HBA in the same fabric, I request this enhancement to reduce manual management of zones and promote workload balance among SVC and VM ports.
