Right, we're aware of this typo in 6d6285c45f5a.  Sorry about that, but
as you noted, once both the linux-block and linux-dm branches for 3.20
are merged all is back to working.

So we're planning to just leave the block commit as broken and let the
dm commit you noted fix it up.  In the end 3.20-rc1 will have a working
dm-multipath.
