Yes; that's the traditional dm-snapshot target that has been in the
kernel for years. The Zumastor/ddsnap stuff was a separate project to
replace that using a new metadata format and target - they are not the
same and the Zumastor snapshot code was never merged in the kernel.

In drivers/md in the kernel sources - the dm-thin stuff was merged after
3.1 (October last year); see commits starting with 991d9fa.
