AL> Shouldn't this go to LKML?

Perhaps so.  I haven't received much feedback from the device-mapper
maintainer and community, although I plan to push it out for
acceptance on Monday.  However, it may take a while before it makes it
into mainline, and even when it does, the linux version in the xen
tree will have to be updated before it will be easily available to xen
users.  My thought is that since it's a clean patch applied at build
time, that it would be ok to get it in the tree for testing and
experimentation in the meantime.  If/when it goes into mainline and is
merged into xen, then the patch can just come out.

What do the maintainers think about this plan?
