dm-sstart :
dm-scsi-start :
  - express the actual role of the handler
  - does not discriminate other vendors like FSC using the same trick

dm-assym-hp-sw
  - express clearly the product family

dm-assym-sworks
  - does not use the "hp" branding
    not so bad considering how many corps have controled StorageWorks
    (Digital, Compaq, HP, ...)

I let you decide ... I have no taste for those things, as Alasdair
already noted with my pp_ prefixes :)
