Doc Text Feature: Add skip_kpartx multipath.conf option to allow skipping kpartx partition creation

Reason: Some users want to be able to only create a multipath device, and not any partitions, even if the device has a partition table.

Result: multipath devices that are configured with skip_kpartx will not have any partition devices created for them.

Steven J. Levine 2016-10-18 18:29:55 UTC Doc Text Feature: Add skip_kpartx multipath.conf option to allow skipping kpartx partition creation

Result: multipath devices that are configured with skip_kpartx will not have any partition devices created for them.
New `skip_kpartx` configuration option to allow skipping `kpartx` partition creation

The `skip_kpartx` option has been added to the defaults, devices, and multipaths sections of the `multipath.conf` file. When this option is set to `yes`, multipath devices that are configured with `skip_kpartx` will not have any partition devices created for them. This allows users to create a multipath device without creating partitions, even if the device has a partition table. The default value of this option is `no`.
