Cathy would know best, but I believe in the present Clearview UV code, the
link ID associated with each mac is stored in the mac_impl_t, and can be
mapped to its current link name through a door upcall.  So yes, it should
be possible to report it and would be a nice side benefit of centralizing
the implementation.
