This provides a pool that contains all the multipath devices on the
host. Volume creating is not supported via the libvirt APIs.
The target element is actually ignored, but one is required to appease

Configuring multipathing is not currently supported, this just covers
the case where users want to discover all the available multipath
devices, and assign them to guests.
