Nitpick: You have spent effort to make multipath-tools support any
whitepace characters in the previous patches, but here you don't. I can
see that disassemble_map() generally assumes space characters as word
delimiters, but at least I see some inconsistency here.

Do you intend to generalize the whitespace handling in
disassemble_map(), too? Or am I overlooking something?

I was wondering why we need pthread_cleanup() complexity here, seeing
no cancellation points in this function. I eventually realized that
condlog()->dlog()->log_safe()->pthread_mutex_lock() is a cancellation
point. I suppose we need to clean that up some time.

Nit: Given that mp->features comes from the multipath.conf, I'm pretty
sure that it can't contain \n or \r as whitespace characters
(read_line() would remove them()). Not sure about \f and \v; guess they
are allowed but I wouldn't swear that they can be used in
multipath.conf without causing trouble elsewhere.
