Thanks for doing this, looks good in general.

Just a few small nits:
- rename device_nonrot to device_is_nonrot
- rename dm_table_all_nonrot to dm_table_is_nonrot
- add missing whitespace in dm_table_set_restrictions
- move ti declaration outside of dm_table_is_nonrot's while loop
- dm doesn't use 'true' or 'false' bool returns even though we have
functions that return bool -- odd but best to keep consistent for now

I'll respond with v2 that folds these changes in and my Signed-off-by
