loading of dm-mod by libdevmapper
Is there any particular reason why libdevmapper does not load dm-mod as needed, like lvm does for dm targets?
Would a patch in this sense be accepted?

Until recently libdevmapper did not have target-specific code (which this would need). Ultimately I want to move most of the target-specific activation code out of LVM into libdevmapper.

Depends on the patch. If it works as the next step of this 'moving the code scheme' or is tiny, perhaps. If it's too clumsy or would have to be removed before moving the code in, no.
