Until recently libdevmapper did not have target-specific code (which this
would need). Ultimately I want to move most of the target-specific
activation code out of LVM into libdevmapper.

Depends on the patch. If it works as the next step of this 'moving the code
scheme' or is tiny, perhaps. If it's too clumsy or would have to be removed
before moving the code in, no.
