Mellanox target ioc_guid is derived from node_guid; 
therefore, Mellanox target's OUI would be "00-02-C9"

I think that Engenio and DDN target also use node_guid to 
derive target ioc_guid -- they may have same target's OUI as 
Mellanox target

Can we rework the patch to have mellanox_workarounds=0 by 
default?
