Not being a coder I gotta ask...

How does this patch deal with mdev (busybox) or static dev instead of 
udev?  Does it gracefully degrade to legacy LVM-agnostic behavior?

Meanwhile, just requiring libudev is certain to bring some pretty zealous 
opposition from the anti-systemd/anti-udev camp.  I like the goal, but 
that better be an optional dep unless we're deliberately stepping into 
that debate, because that's exactly what we'd be doing.
