Any time a target's table-format or status-format changes, we also need to 
increment that target's version number so user-space can figure out which 
format to expect.

The version for dm-mirror is currently 1.0.1, so we should at least bump it to 
1.0.2 or 1.1.0.

Also, please remember to turn off line-wrap when inserting patches into 
emails.  :)

Thanks,
