The problem is we have to support the distros which do not have support for fc_transport, so I would suggest you use but the mainline driver as well.

The newer Qlogic (qla2xxx) driver for kernel versions 2.6.9 

and later do not support the fc_transport class. The support 
is #ifdefed for kernels > 2.6.6 & < 2.6.9. So I will have to 
wait till they support this for newer kernels. Meanwhile I 
can work with a patched version of multipath tools. Thanks 
for feedback. 

It's supported in the mainline driver.  The qlogic drivers do 
lots of silly
things and you shouldn't use them.
