We added 'uint32_t padding;' recently which we I reckon we could now use for this. dm_kobject_uevent() and alloc_dev() could keep a new field in struct mapped_device up-to-date, and a new function could return its value to dm-ioctl.c code to place into a renamed 'padding' field before returning to userspace?
