Could be because -mm uses a 64-bit dev_t.

Could you please revert 
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.73/2.5.73-mm2/broken-out/64-bit-dev_t-kdev_t.patch
and retest?

I think there's a version of devicemapper userspace which works correctly
with 64-bit dev_t.  Perhaps the Sistina team can shed some light.
