Please don't apply this.
Autodetection will only work if the hardware handler is loaded.
If the handler is _not_ loaded autodetection won't work, either.
And if we add this patch multipath will never load the modules, neither.

So we need this functionality as a fallback if autodetect does not work.

Cheers,

Hannes
