    Pull device-mapper changes from Alasdair G Kergon:
     "Add a device-mapper target called dm-switch to provide a multipath
      framework for storage arrays that dynamically reconfigure their
      preferred paths for different device regions.
    
      Fix a bug in the verity target that prevented its use with some
      specific sizes of devices.
    
      Improve some locking mechanisms in the device-mapper core and bufio.
    
      Add Mike Snitzer as a device-mapper maintainer.
    
      A few more clean-ups and fixes"
