Alright, I'm sorry but this is as far as I would go for dm conversion
patches.  If you wanna split it further or do it your way, please feel
free to.  I think it would be beneficial to do things now but, hey,
you guys are maintaining dm part of the kernel, so it's up to you
guys.  But, I think it would be silly for everyone else to wait for
the rather special requirement for dm, so if we have to go forward
without dm updates, I suppose we will have to.  Jens, please feel free
to drop dm conversion patches.

Thanks.
