Summary: Report blade MAC addresses (NICs) information

Initial Comment:
OK, for the MAC address, there is no HPI way to get the information. You can use a SOAP call for that.  In the application some one can extract the information (plugins/oa_soap/debug/soaptest.c has some sample code).

The information of the NICs and ports connected to interconnect/virtual connect  can be exported as custom field in HPI. The similar logic is used for Fan and Fan zones to export the proprietary information.
But this is little tricky as the number of the NICs will differ for each blade. Two blades of same type (for example: BL465c) can have different number of
NICs.

OA SOAP plugin can publish the custom inventory field id in the SaHpiOaSoap.h file. This file has 4 custom fields for fan and fan zones.

This could be treated as a low weight  enhancement request that is good to have. This may get into HPI Spec in the future.
