It would be good to rename the existing type 'mpath' to something else.
You have 'resilient' as a group type later, so maybe rename this one to
hash or hash_threshold.

All right, I'll send a follow-up with that.

I'm fine with the rename being a followup after this patch set or as the
last patch in this set.

I looked at this, it's more than just this struct field. There is a
whole number of functions with mpath in their name to reflect that they
are for the hash-threshold algorithm. (And then some where the "mpath"
reflects is_multipath assumption.)

So I'll send this separately, and have it go through our regression.
It's still trivialish renaming, but a fair amount thereof.
