We could share it. Probably it should then be defined here, since this is
the first patch of the series, we could add an extern declaration to
dm-verity-loadpin.h.

'targets' are different types of DM mappings like 'linear' or 'verity'. A
device mapper table contains has one or more targets that define the mapping
of the blocks of the mapped device.
Having spelled that out I realize that the above check is wrong. It would
consider a device like this trusted:
0 10000000 linear 8:1
10000000 10001000 verity <params>
In the above case only a small part of the DM device would be backed by verity.
I think we want a table with a single entry that is a verity target.

Looks good to me, will change

Excellent, thanks for the review!
