Thanks Harald.

This fixes the issue for multipath.

For iscsi, I see that after this change iscsi module is included but iscsi
target bring up still does not happen so iscsi luns don't show up in second
kernel.

I think iscsi code might be assuing that we will pass some iscsi
parameters on command line but we don't have any information and we
don't pass anything. So iscsi module need save some files/state in
initramfs during build and bring up iscsi targets accordingly.

In RHEL6, during the block device stack traversal, I had saved the
target information in a file and packed that file in initramfs. And
then invoked code in initramfs to specifically bring up those luns.

I need to read up some code and also see if network modules are being
included or not and if networking is coming up or not before iscsi
can come up.

Thanks
