Fortunate indeed.

Should the 'minio' be a tunable in the request-based multipath context,
or should we hardcode its value to '1' ?

If we keep it a tunable, I guess we'll have to introduce a different
'minio' configuration parameter ('rr_min_io_rq' for example) to permit
vendors to set their defaults for distributions shipping a rq-capable
kernel or not. This change would be pretty invasive.

Please advise.
