Right now, it is for active/passive when you require 
manual/explicit/some-magic-command/whatever-vendorX-calls-it 
failover/logical-unit-access. HP or Christophe can give details about 
the specific models.

I was not sure if these boxes do active/passive 
automaitc/implicit/whatever too. If so I guess we need some config code 
in the create function so I do not send the start stop for the automatic 
failover case. I have not gotton to look at the qlogic code, becuase I 
have been busy rediffing and testing other patches so I only know what I 
remember Christophe telling me :)
