                dm_set_md_type(md, dm_table_get_type(t));

Although I don't impose this interface, I feel it is straightforward
for this function.  Then, dm_set_md_type() just set the type in md->type;

	void dm_set_md_type(struct mapped_device *md, unsigned type)
	{
		md->type = type;
	}

If you take the current interface, I feel it's not normal coding style;

Should be "dm_table *t" instead of "dm_table* t".

The same coding style here.
