</span>Please don't apply this.<br>
Autodetection will only work if the hardware handler is loaded.<br>
If the handler is _not_ loaded autodetection won't work, either.<br>
And if we add this patch multipath will never load the modules, neither.<br>
<br>
So we need this functionality as a fallback if autodetect does not work.<br>
<br>
