[PATCH v6 2/3] dm: export a table+mapped device to the ioctl interface

[Enric Balletbo i Serra]

From: Will Drewry <wad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
