No they are not.

Hannes seems to have last pulled in my DM mpath changes that (ab)used RCU.
I ended up dropping those changes and this patchset is the replacement.

So please retest with this patchset (I know you guys have a large setup
that these changes are very relevant for).  If you could actually share
_how_ yo've tested that'd help me understand how these changes are
holding up.  So far all looks good for me...

Mike
