FYI, with this patch series, I created the new dm target and ran blktests zbd
group for it. And I observed zbd/007 test case failure (other test cases
passed). The test checks sector mapping of zoned dm-linear, dm-flakey and dm-
crypt. Some changes in the test case look required to handle the new target.
