[dm-devel] [PATCH] 2.4: dm-table.c: Recognize devices names of the form "type(a,b)"

[Kevin Corry]

In dm_get_device(), also look for device strings of the form:
  type(major,minor)
where major and minor are decimal (not hex). This allows table status strings
returned by DM to be fed back into DM for create or reload.
