 * Info output has the following format:
 * num_multipath_feature_args [multipath_feature_args]*
 * num_handler_status_args [handler_status_args]*
 * num_groups init_group_number
 *            [A|D|E num_ps_status_args [ps_status_args]*
 *             num_paths num_selector_args
 *             [path_dev A|F fail_count [selector_args]* ]+ ]+
 *

Path group:
  A - currently active (max 1 in this state)
  E - enabled (i.e. bypass flag not set)
  D - disabled (i.e. bypass flag set)
