Subject[PATCH] dm: pass up rotational flag
Date
Allow the NONROT flag to be passed through to linear mappings if all
underlying device are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will
schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag.

With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device.
