'queue_io' is just used as a marker that I/O should be queued as
pg_init is running. The intention of the stacked status was so that
one could figure out by 'dmsetup status' whether I/O will be blocked
or not. And for that you'd need both, 'queue_io' and 'queue_if_no_path'.

But thanks for the rework.

Cheers,

Hannes
