From: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@xxxxxxxxxx>
Improve error recovery for internal I/Os by repeating each I/O
256 times per path to cope with long-running non-permanent error
conditions. Also retry each path twice to cope with link flapping,
i.e. single paths becoming unavailable in the order in which they
are tried.
