Is there a specific scenario that causes the kernel to oops if an MD device is
made of DM devices? EVMS has been using this kind of configuration for a
couple years, and we've never noticed a problem with it. Also, syrius
mentioned on IRC that this problem only started occurring with -ac10, and
that -ac8 worked fine. I'm checking out the diffs between those two versions
to see what else might have changed.
