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.
