For dmsetup status:

ess15-5320: 0 6835968 multipath 1 0 0 1 1 A 0 2 1 8:0 A 0 x 8:16 A 0 x
                                                ^

The 1 after the number of paths means the path selector will write 1 
additional piece of information
after the default output of each path. (e.g. <device> <state> <failcount> 
<something>)
The current code expects these data only once after all paths have been 
written but it has to skip
these data for every path. The round-robin slector doesn't use any data 
per path so the current
logic work but as soon as it is used you would fail to get the current 
state.
