Another one on the dm side that seems useful is:

dm-emulate-blkrrpart-ioctl:
Partitions on device-mapper devices are managed by kpartx (if at
all). So if we were just to send out a 'change' event if someone
called BLKRRPART on these devices, kpartx will be triggered via udev
and can manage the partitions accordingly.
