Notes
If you intend to use Device-mapper, as well as adding it to your
kernel, you should install the userspace configuration tool (dmsetup)
and library (libdevmapper). Don't forget to apply the VFS locking
patch too. Note: some freezes have been reported when using device
mapper and grsec, although there's nothing proving that grsec might
cause the problem.
