Yes, I am planning to add something like this. Whether it needs to be
per path, or we could get away per priority group is probably a
question that you could answer better than me ? Do we need a
corresponding deactivate for some hardware ?

I think the bio recording/reset is going to have to move inside the
target. It makes sense that the mpath target should be the only one
that incurs this overhead. So yes, there will have to be a wrapper
which could be used to provide context for the ps.
