My biggest concern here is that even if someone downloads the latest 
device-mapper tools tarball and compiles it on their system, unless they 
specifically point it at 2.6 kernel headers it won't compile in v4 ioctl 
support, so they could be unpleasantly surprised. Given the prevailing 
sentiment about _not_ updating /usr/include/{linux,asm} to the headers 
with a newly-installed kernel (but rather leaving them the same versions 
that libc was compiled against) this a pretty likely scenario unless I'm 
mistaken...
