This report from Michael needs proper review and triage.

It literally makes _zero_ sense that all 5 mpath devices are suffering
from a 3 minute boot stall (rooted in udev action) when I'm pretty
certain they are using request-based multipath for 4 of the 5 devices.
The 5th likely having a dm-linear ontop of request-based multipath.
And I've tested stacking bio-based linear on request-based multipath.
