It's been 3.5 years, let's turn it on by default. Support in rbd(8) utility goes back to pre-firefly, "rbd map" has been loading the module with single_major=Y ever since. However, if the module is already loaded (whether by hand or at boot time), we end up with single_major=N. Also, some people don't install rbd(8) and use the sysfs interface directly. (With single-major=N, a major number is consumed for every mapping, imposing a limit of ~240 rbd images per host. single-major=Y allows mapping thousands of rbd images on a single machine.)
