We've been carrying code in our ChromeOS kernel to parse a cmdline arg for setting up early DM maps -- e.g., a dm-verity rootfs without using an initramfs. We currently use dm_table_create() from init/*.c (and we *should* be using dm_table_destroy() in the error paths). So I'm certainly not going to send the patch to do the reverse :) Enric is working on cleaning up this work to send here, so if you don't want to see this patch now, you may well see it later. Brian
