[dm-devel] [PATCH] Print a warning message when hardware handler parameters are ignored

[Chandra Seetharaman]

Currently dm ignores the parameters provided to hardware handlers
without providing any notifications to the user.

This patch just prints a warning message so that the user knows that
the arguments are ignored.
