Remind me - why does udev want to know about 'target type'?

Is it a hack so it can guess which program (lvm2, cryptsetup, multipath etc.)
is responsible for creating the device?

We introduced a standard prefix on the UUID for this purpose instead.
Next time we revise the ioctl interface it'll go in as a separate 'owning
subsystem' field.  (Need to check if any of our packages still need this
prefix adding.)
