ok,

be aware I broke the StorageWorks failover model to satisfy the
expressed need to proactively fail paths in the DM when the checkers see
them going down.

StorageWorks hardware relied on the daemon to keep the paths in failover
path groups to be in active state. That is no longer the case, now that
we keep the DM path state in sync with checker states.

I guess to correct way to get back to a working model is to implement
the DM path activation in a hardware handler. Dave Olien and Mike
Christie have worked on such a handler. It needs debuging and testing.
