It does, and the upstream patch applies to it without any changes!  I'm
objecting to this and the preceding patch until there's a proper
explanation of why device-mapper should be excluded from the backport.

I've attached an alternate version of this patch that has the
device-mapper part restored.  While I haven't tested this (don't know
what the test case would be) I think it is rather more likely to be a
correct backport to 4.4.

Ben.
