Subject: [PATCH] multipath: delegate flushing maps to multipathd
Since there can be problems with removing maps outside of multipathd,
multipath should attempt to delegate this command to multipathd.
However, multipathd doesn't attempt to suspend the device, in order
to avoid potential hangs. If delegating to multipathd fails, multipath
should try the remove itself.
