Subject: [PATCH] RH: don't start without a config file

If /etc/multipath.conf doesn't exist, don't start multipathd and blacklist
all devices when running multipath.  A completely blank configuration file
is almost never what users want.  Also, people may have the multipath
packages installed but don't want to use them.  This patch provides a
simple way to disable multipath.  Simply removing or renaming
/etc/multipath.conf will keep multipath from doing anything.
