Setting this option to yes will force multipath to get the uid by using
the fallback sysfs methods, instead of getting it from udev. This will
cause devices that can't get their uid from the standard locations to
not get a uid. It will also disable uevent merging.
It will not stop uevents from being resent for device that failed to
get a WWID, although I'm on the fence about the benefit of this.
