[dm-devel] Autoload of DM kernel targets?

[Andrei Borzenkov]

See as example https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=983221

"non-standard" DM targets do not appear to be autoloaded (the problem
was hit with thin-pool, but it seems to apply to other targets as well).
"Common" targets (like linear) are provided by dm-mod which seems to be
autoloaded by virtue of /dev/mapper/control.

Is it expected and intentional? Or are users required to manually load
necessary modules on boot?

TIA
