A set of device-mapper changes for 3.13.

Browse source 
Improve reliability of buffer allocations for dm messages with a small
 number of arguments, a couple path group initialization fixes for dm
 multipath, a fix for resizing a dm array, various fixes and
 optimizations for dm cache, a fix for device mapper's Kconfig menu
 indentation.
 
 Features added include:
 - dm crypt support for activating legacy CBC TrueCrypt containers
   (useful for forensics of these old TCRYPT containers)
 - reduced dm-cache memory requirements for each block in the cache
 - basic support for shrinking a dm-cache's cache (fast) device
 - most notably, dm-cache support for managing cache coherency when
   deploying dm-cache with sophisticated origin volumes (that support
   hardware snapshots and/or clustering): these changes come in the form
   of a new passthrough operation mode and a cache block invalidation
   interface.
