Actually I forgot the main thing about ldmtool: since this tool is
required to mount LDM partitions, it must be run before fstab is
examined. I.e. it needs to be run on boot. Currently it's on full
manual, which requires users to manually add the "ldmtool create all"
step somewhere in the boot sequence - this is a typical advice found on
google results for using dynamic disks.

But that's ugly. Things need to "just work" and we can do that quite
easily.

That's another argument for adding ldmtool to initrd - to make mounting
such partitions possible in the same way as any ordinary GPT/MBR
partitions.
