Ignore activate_dm_linear, it's really not working.

If you want that, then use LVM. the activate_dm_linear solution would only help with updating existing PATA systems. >> The workaround from Hannes needs some more work we will do for RC2 - but even >> then it will not be nicely integrated and only something for a real hacker. > > From what I can tell in the relevant bugs, activate_dm_linear seems simple > enough for an unreal hacker to manage.
