Device size not recognized correctly on dm-linear devices #9

Use dm-linear to map two 1 GB PM devices:

$ echo -e "0 `sudo blockdev --getsz /dev/pmem0` linear /dev/pmem0 0 "\\n"`sudo blockdev --getsz /dev/pmem0` `sudo blockdev --getsz /dev/pmem1` linear /dev/pmem1 0" | sudo dmsetup create linear-pmem
$ lsblk /dev/pmem*

pmem1         259:1    0   1G  0 disk 
└─linear-pmem 252:0    0   2G  0 dm 
$ sudo mount -t hayleyfs -o init /dev/mapper/linear-pmem /mnt/pmem/
$ df -h

The size on the last line should be 2G. ext4-DAX handles this correctly.

NOVA and WineFS do not handle this correctly - they also only recognize the first device. Ext4-DAX probably does something different to obtain the DAX device.
