[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-multipath: patch to keep multipath working with new Clariion firmware

[Benjamin Marzinski]

This is the patch that EMC posted in the redhat bugzilla #231545, to deal with
their new Clariion firmware that supports ALUA mode. It simply allows multipath
to continue running with in the way in currently does.
