I am sponsoring the following fasttrack for Mike Bergknoff, requesting patch
binding and a timeout of 07/17/2008.

4. Technical Description

SUMMARY:
        PICL classes and properties are used to model information in the
        PICL tree. This case updates the list of classes defined in
        PSARC/2000/185 (PICL Classes Specification) to include a class to 
        identify multipath information nodes which are defined in 
        PSARC/1999/647 (Multipath I/O (mpxio)).

PROBLEM:
        Need a common PICLTREE class to identify access to multipath
        information nodes as defined in PSARC/1999/647.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
        This case updates the classes defined in PSARC/2000/185 and defines 
        an additional class with which a plugin can associate the 
        availability of access to multipath information nodes.

        PICL Class         Represents                           Published Under
        "multipath"        a multipath information node         /platform

        Expected properties are defined in PSARC/1999/647.

        PICL property     PICL Type
        "path-class"      String
        "sam-lun"         Byte array
        "lun"             32 bit integer
        "target"          32 bit integer
        "target-port"     String
        "node-wwn"        Byte array
        "port-wwn"        Byte array
        "State"           String
