Hi Christophe,

HP asked me to implement cciss support for multipathing.
Apparently their newer HBAs are multipathing capable.
However, I have no idea about the failover method they're
using; so I used multibus as a default.
Maybe someone from HP can comment on this.

There were several patches floating around which tried to
achieve the same but given that they're trying to access
/sys/block/cciss!cXdY/device (which doesn't exist for cciss)
I doubt they'll do anything sensible.

Please commit.

Cheers,

Hannes
