OK, thanks.
Please specify the path_selector part in the same way as
round-robin like below:

	path_selector	"queue-length 0"

Note that '0' is the required argument which specifies the number
of path_selector parameters.

I think this is a bug in the parameter parsing of multipath target
driver, not queue-length/service-time specific.

Thanks,
