Yikes.... Sorry again... Hopefully this attached patch work properly.
Did it build cleanly for you?
Hint:
Use SCSI_DH as module and MD_MULTIPATH=y. Build errors for me.

Hi James, Andrew,
Here is a patch to remove the automatic "select" of scsi_dh for
dm-multipath.
Sorry about the mishap.
This is busted.
-------------------------
Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH
doesn't exist,just do not allow hardware handlers to be used.
Handle SCSI_DH being a module also.
