Can someone comment on the size of the dm kernel patches? They seem to be far
too large and patch far more than just dm. It appears that they patch between
different kernel versions.

Last I checked they include the andrew morton -mm patchset as well.

Do the dm targets require the mm patchset? Is it possible to get _just_ the
new dm targets?

Yes - instead of applying the entire included -mm patch, take the dm patches
from the "broken out" version on his website:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/
[Or work from Linus's bk tree, if you just want snapshot and pvmove.]

The only dm-related patch in 2.6.7-mm6 that I can see is the new IO barrier
patch.
I don't want to follow any development trees, including Linus'. Can I get just
the dm targets for 2.6.7 vanilla kernel.org?

It's all part of the "linus.patch", which is most likely a recent -bk patch.

You might be able to patch a temporary 2.6.7 kernel with 2.6.7-udm1, and then
copy over the contents of drivers/md/ to your non-mm tree. I don't *think*
there are any affected files outside of drivers/md/ (maybe
include/linux/device-mapper.h and dm-ioctl.h), but don't quote me on that. :)
