I am trying to test these patches right now.  What is the expectation from
Multipath tools for this to work correctly.  Do I have to pass following 
Parameters?

hardware_handler "1 alua"  
features "1 default_hw_handler"
 
It appears to me that the first line will forcibly load the alua handler even if
the default handler is different.
