Olaf: You asked for a way to create one dm device per partition in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/10/42 . See the kpartx description below
for a solution.

Breaks everyone using partitions above hdX15. Two possible solutions:
- Use kpartx (and device mapper) for partitions sdX16 and greater
  (ugly, but works. Booting from such partitions however requires
  manual mapping in GRUB and LILO)
- Change minor number allocation for SCSI disks in the kernel
  (unlikely to be accepted without great opposition)

I'll test using kpartx and report back.
