I have not yet had the chance to run the srp-test software against that
kernel. But I already see that booting takes more than ten times longer
than usual. Note: as far as I know the dm-mpath driver is not involved
in the boot process of my test system.

It is possible to run that test on top of the SoftRoCE driver. I will first
check myself whether the latest version of the SoftRoCE driver is stable
enough to run srp-test on top of it (see also
https://github.com/dledford/linux/commits/k.o/for-4.11).
