From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx>
The paragraph stating that the san_path_err algorithm is deprecated
has been moved into the FPIN section by mistake.
Move it upward, and use a weaker wording. While the san_path_err algorithm is
technical inferior to the marginal_path approach, it is also easier to
understand and set up. Furthermore, we documented that it's the replacement
for the delay_check algorithm. Therefore the strong "deprecated" wording is
exaggerated.

Fibre channel fabrics can notify hosts about fabric-level issues such
as integrity failures or congestion with so-called Fabric Performance
Impact Notifications (FPINs).On receiving the fpin notifications through ELS
multipathd will move the affected path and port states to marginal.
