In that you're carrying the dm_set_device_limits() change as part of
this patch:
http://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=mkp/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f3bc9c611895
Any chance you'd shepherd this revised patch to Jens? It includes
various DM topology cleanups that we've discussed as well as the
EXPORT_SYMBOL(bdev_stack_limits).
The dm_set_device_limits DMWARN() cleanup is the line after your
sector change so it'd require coordination. I'm purposely displaying
the 'start' in bytes because all other topology limit values in that
DMWARN are in bytes. [and yes it's > 80-char, linus is OK with that now
if it "makes sense"]
The 2nd and 3rd hunks of the dm-table.c changes respectively offer
another topology DMWARN cleanup and the removal of the alignment_offset
and misaligned resets that we discussed extensively.
If you'd rather not take those 2 hunks I can queue them with Alasdair
but I figured we could just add them to this patch.
Let me know, thanks.

block: bdev_stack_limits wrapper and DM topology fixes
DM does not want to know about partition offsets. Add a partition-aware
wrapper that DM can use when stacking block devices.
Also remove the clearing of alignment_offset and misaligned in
dm_table_set_restrictions(). Adjust some misleading topology DMWARN
messages too.
