Is this observation that rpc_clnt_setup_test_and_add_xprt() doesn't call
rpc_xprt_switch_add_xprt() neither in the test function nor let
rpc_clnt_add_xprt() add the xprt correct? This seems to be limiting
Linux pNFS client from using multiple paths with Tegile/WD pNFS server.

If yes, would you like a patch that attempts to fix this?
