[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/2] multipath-tools: enable retain_hw_handler and detect_prio by default

[Xose Vazquez Perez]

Based on previous Hannes's work.

He wrote:
"And for several versions (years, even) the linux kernel has the ability
to correctly detect the device handler, so we should be making
'retain_hw_handler' the default.
And if we do this we also want to enable 'detect_prio', to ensure
we pick the correct prioritizer."
