I see. So using init_config() actually had a benefit for you already
over load_config() :-) Such control over the verbosity would actually
be good for multipath-tools, too.

I suggest to track the verbosity independently in a different variable,
and just set it from init_config() if it was actually set in the
config file. Most of the time, we set it from the command line.
This would have the additional benefit not to have to call
get_multipath_config() in dlog().
