I'm resending my find_multipaths patch, based on the conversation I had
here. If nothing else, I'd at least like a discussion about why these
shouldn't go in.

Just to clarify. find_multipaths is a configurable option that when set to
'yes' will make multipath only run on devices have more than one path.  This
means that users can mostly leave the blacklist alone, and they will only get
the multipath devices that they want. The only time the blacklist is necessary
is when users actually have multiple paths to a device, but still don't want
multipath set up on it.  It's been around since RHEL6, and it is turned on
in the default multipath.conf file in RHEL7. The internal default is "off".

Hannes, do you still object to these?

  add find_multipaths option
  libmultipath: only add uninitialized paths in check_path
  Add find_multipaths to multipath.conf man page
