The device-mapper can certainly do it. It is "just" a matter of
safely recording and setting up the mapping in userland. You
can probably do what you want with a script invoking /sbin/dmsetup.
But I'm not the guru to provide an example...
You can play around with 'ls', 'info', and 'table' subcommands to
see how device-mapper is programmed.
