Tape needs special multipathing logic. Don't you think moving multipathing to the mid-layer requires the mid-layer to know much more about the upper layer and muddles up the scsi stack's layering? To keep multipathing high and generic we need better error reporting than the one bit that hits the md layer in 2.4...
