That directory is populated by udev by 55-xs-mpath-scsidev.rules using the 
xs-mpath-scsidev.sh script. This has also been patched to work with the 
different kernel sysfs entries but the script lives in a different repo so it 
escaped my attention. Here's the patch but the sysfs bit is related to iSCSI 
and there doesn't seem to be sysfs related work done for the directory you 
mention.

Try the following two patches anyway. One for the udev rules and one for the 
iSCSI related functionality in the SM.

Hope these help, or at least point you in the right direction.
