Ok, I aknowledge this approach is far more complex than your 1st
attempt.

If I read correctly the two candidate patches, the clariion checker need
to share information with the other path chechers attached to the same
multipath to decide for a state to return.

If so, let's pretend another checker might one day stress the same
need :)

What do you think of a facility like the following (completely untested
and surely semi-bogus) patch sketches ? Would it make your patch as
straight as your first attempt ?

It seems to take care of our griefs with "container_of" and the
clariion-centric additions to "struct multipath".

Anyway, I'm sorry for keeping you walking in circles there.
