What devices have support for referred_path?

Based on:               guess???
PRIO_ALUA               - YES
PRIO_CONST              -  NO
PRIO_EMC                - YES
PRIO_HDS                - YES
PRIO_HP_SW              -  NO
PRIO_ONTAP              - YES
PRIO_RDAC               - YES

Is there a hint anywhere?
