As a data point, device-mapper isn't available on non-Linux platforms. If
Osier was meaning to make it "required", I can see a problem about there. ;)
That's a problem indeed, but we already required it to use "parted" to
create storage volume. Perhaps we need a better solution, but currently
I have no better idea. :-)
