In one of my latest patch (v6.6.0~30) I was trying to remove libdevmapper use in favor of our own implementation. However, the code did not take into account that device mapper can be not compiled into the kernel (e.g. be a separate module that's not loaded) in which case /proc/devices won't have the device-mapper major number and thus virDevMapperGetTargets() and/or virIsDevMapperDevice() fails.
