[PATCH 0/5] dm: boot a mapped device without an initramfs

[Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com>]

Hello,

Some of these patches were send few years back, I saw that first
version was send to this list in 2010, and after some reviews did not
landi [1] , apparently without any reason.

The patches has been used and working well on the ChromeOS kernel for
long time, this version is basically a rebase on top of mainline based
on latest version found in chromeos 4.4 kernel, the patches has also
been tested on a veyron device.

This a new attempt to try to land these patches again, so I'll wait
for comments/reviews and send new version to the list.

Best regards,
