It is not good enough to ignore it. It is good enough to postpone
integration for 2.7.

Now that Al has sorted out lots of the block device mess in 2.5
I will work together with whoever is interested in it (i.e. the EVMS
folks) to integrate proper higher-level volume-management into
the kernel once the next unstable series opens.

Coing up with lots of code just before feature freeze is just not the way
infrastructure work is done Linux.
