Yeah, maybe "paths" would be better.

However, I am just following the pre-existing example in NVMe, which has:
# ls -l /sys/devices/virtual/nvme-subsystem/nvme-subsys1/nvme1n1/multipath
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Mar  3 10:42 nvme1c1n1 ->
../../../../nvme-fabrics/ctl/nvme1/nvme1c1n1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Mar  3 10:42 nvme1c2n1 ->
../../../../nvme-fabrics/ctl/nvme2/nvme1c2n1
#

Some of the sysfs code/structures is also shared from libmultipath also.

Thanks!
