This patch allows repetitive patterns in dm-switch. In
set_regions_mappings message, the user may use "Rn,m" as one of the
arguments. "n" and "m" are hexadecimal numbers. The "Rn,m" argument
repeats the last "n" arguments in the following "m" slots.
For example:
dmsetup message switch 0 set_region_mappings 1000:1 :2 R2,10
is equivalent to
dmsetup message switch 0 set_region_mappings 1000:1 :2 :1 :2 :1 :2 :1 :2 \
:1 :2 :1 :2 :1 :2 :1 :2 :1 :2
