Comfort of reviewing isn't something to worry about -- I'm okay with
device-mapper as appropriate, I just sometimes think that there are
better approaches than always using it (eg, actually making it so that
sparseness is understood, etc).

I haven't seen any code either...  but if they have it, now's the time
to get it out there.  I'm planning on getting _something_ in for
persistence this week.  If there's more than one patch so that we can
look at alternate approaches and pull together all of the best aspects
of each, that's fine.  If there's just one, then we can iterate and get
it to a good place.

There's not a feature on the table for it right now because I didn't
feel it was something that could be committed to.  We'll get the code
ready and then can go forward with it being a more official feature with
all the accompanying stuff that it entails.  And I can drive that to
avoid your CLA questions.
