This is a wrap-up of three patches pending upstream approval. I'm bundling them because they are interdependent, and it'll be easier to drop it on rebase later. 1. dm: allow a dm-fs-style device to be shared via dm-ioctl Integrates feedback from Alisdair, Mike, and Kiyoshi. Two main changes occur here: - One function is added which allows for a programmatically created mapped device to be inserted into the dm-ioctl hash table. This binds the device to a name and, optional, uuid which is needed by udev and allows for userspace management of the mapped device. - dm_table_complete() was extended to handle all of the final functional changes required for the table to be operational once called. 2. init: boot to device-mapper targets without an initr* Add a dm= kernel parameter modeled after the md= parameter from do_mounts_md. It allows for device-mapper targets to be configured at boot time for use early in the boot process (as the root device or otherwise). It also replaces /dev/XXX calls with major:minor opportunistically. The format is dm="name uuid ro,table line 1,table line 2,...". The parser expects the comma to be safe to use as a newline substitute but, otherwise, uses the normal separator of space. Some attempt has been made to make it forgiving of additional spaces (using skip_spaces()). A mapped device created during boot will be assigned a minor of 0 and may be access via /dev/dm-0. An example dm-linear root with no uuid may look like: root=/dev/dm-0 dm="lroot none ro, 0 4096 linear /dev/ubdb 0, 4096 4096 linear /dv/ubdc 0" Once udev is started, /dev/dm-0 will become /dev/mapper/lroot.
