Better to check for the new 'lvm' base command: other commands are

That will also confirm that device-mapper is available in the live
kernel and that /dev/mapper/control is set up correctly.
(See device-mapper/scripts/devmap_mknod.sh)

Besides that is there any way to reliably check if dm is loaded from a
c program, besides calling dm_task_run(), which is noisy if the driver
is not loaded? I don't want the user to see an error if she's not
running device-mapper.
it the moment i try to open dm_dir()/control, is that ok?
