Subject: [RFC PATCH] init: boot to device-mapper targets without an initr*

This change adds a dm= kernel parameter modeled after the md=
parameter from do_mounts_md.  It allows for simple device-mapper
targets to be configured at boot time for use early in the boot
process (as the root device or otherwise).

The format is dm=minor,rwmode,begin,length,target,target,params,with,commas
And may be used as root with dm.major=MAJOR root=MAJOR:minor.

Ideally, the prototypes from dm.h in do_mounts_dm.c could reside in
include/linux/device-mapper.h, or do_mounts_dm.c could pull in
drivers/md/dm.h.  Any preferences there or thoughts on how likely this
is to be an acceptable addition to the boot path are appreciated.
