The device-mapper targets all have a dm-* prefix (there are other files in drivers/md with names beginning with 'dm', e.g. dm.c, dm-table.c but those are part of the device-mapper core). The dm-linear target is always built into the core dm-mod - see the Makefile rules in drivers/md/Makefile for details. The device-mapper bits are right at the top.
