Hi,
this is a kernel side patch that adds support for cookie variables.
A cookie is a random unsigned 32 bit value generated in userspace
and passed into the DM through ioctl (reusing the event_nr field to
avoid the change in the interface). These values are sent back in
CHANGE and REMOVE uevents. This way we can easily pair a process
waiting for udev's rule completion and the udev event itself. Also,
we can use the cookie value to group the actions and related uevents
together, so we know which uevents belong to actions done on one
DM tree.
