I've made further adjustments/changes and actually tested in a multipath
environment configured with the issue.
For these patches, rather than making a "general" flag for the pool,
I chose to add an attribute to the <source> 'device'. This way it was
much more clear what the attribute was affecting.
Additionally, it turned out that the issue was showing up for both
'user_friendly_names' and for custom 'alias' name entries in the
/etc/multipath.conf file so rather than being a user_friendly_name
type flag - I just chose to specific state what it was - a way to
not have the partition separator flag "p" added to the generated name.
Also it was a bit more difficult to describe the use of the flag
especially when it was so specific to one backing store type.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] conf: Add storage pool device attribute part_separator
Add a new storage pool source device attribute 'part_separator=[yes|no]'
in order to allow a 'disk' storage pool using a device mapper multipath
device to not add the "p" partition separator to the generated device
name when libvirt_parthelper is run.
This will allow libvirt to find device mapper multipath devices which were
configured in /etc/multipath.conf to use 'user_friendly_names' or custom
'alias' names for the LUN.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] storage: Add new flag for libvirt_parthelper
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265694
In order to be able to process disk storage pool's using a multipath
device to handle the partitions, libvirt_parthelper will need a way to
not automatically add a partition separator "p" to the generated device
name for each partition found. This is designed to mimic the multipath
features known as 'user_friendly_names' and custom 'alias' name.
If the part_separator attribute is set to "no", then generation of the
multipath partition name will not include the "p" partition separator
unless the source device path name ends with a number. The generated
partition names that get passed back to libvirt are processed in order
to find the device mapper multipath (dm-#) path device.
For example, device path "/dev/mapper/mpatha" would create partitions
"/dev/mapper/mpatha1", "/dev/mapper/mpatha2", etc. instead of
"/dev/mapper/mpathap1", "/dev/mapper/mpathap2", etc. If the device
path ends with a number "/dev/mapper/mpatha1", then the algorithm
to generate names "/dev/mapper/mpatha1p1", "/dev/mapper/mpatha1p2",
etc.
would be utilized.
