Using dm-multipath with NVMe devices is increasingly becoming a niche
configuration, as it's recommended against by the kernel community and
various vendors. Some vendors would prefer not to see their devices listed
in the libmultipath hwtable to avoid the impression on users that this
setup was supported by the vendor.

This RFC patch set makes it possible to remove multiple recently added
hwtable entries by changing the generic NVMe defaults. The only
device-specific settings that remain are those for no_path_retry.

Martin Wilck (2):
  libmultipath: hwtable: new defaults for NVMe
  libmultipath: hwtable: remove obsolete NVMe entries
