Oups, at least lilo depends on the /dev/dm-<minor> link because it's
referenced in /proc/partitions. And with the symlink in place, findfs
returns /dev/dm-<minor> again, *sigh*. Thus... even though I'll attach
a fixed patch, I'll tag the bug wontfix as well, since with this patch
the /dev/dm-<minor> exposure isn't fixed anymore, so it makes no sense
to apply it at all :/
