>   Reinstatement of failed paths directly - no need to reload the
>   whole table. e.g. 'dmsetup message mp1 2000 reinstate 253:4'
> 
>   Path selector 'select' function returns how many times to use
>   path before being asked again; also enables crude
>   load-balancing.
>   e.g. 'multipath 1 round-robin 2 1 253:4 1000 253:3 2000'
>     (send 1000 I/O to first; 2000 to second)
>   0 means continue using a path till it fails.
>   It's still optional: 'round-robin 2 0 253:4 253:3'
> 
>   Auto-loading of unknown path selectors.

> I've done some basic testing on this, but not much yet.
> In particular, I've not checked any module code, not reviewed
> all the uses of locks for correctness and not reviewed 
> what 'status' returns.

> The i386 kgdb patch (taken from -mm) is included for convenience.
