Correct.  I have used variants of the script I provided against both
scsi-debug devices and iscsi devices in the guest.  The script I shared
uses multipath on scsi-debug (ram-based) devices.

That script causes udev to run its various callouts via multipath and
LVM (both packages, upstream and RHEL6, now use udev).

I have verified that I no longer get the hang if I switch the root
device from virtio to ide.
