+/* Test if a device is a logical volume (RHBZ#619793).
+ *
+ * This is harder than it should be.  A LV device like /dev/VG/LV is
+ * really a symlink to a device-mapper device like /dev/dm-0.  However
+ * at the device-mapper (kernel) level, nothing is really known about
+ * LVM (a userspace concept).  Therefore we use a convoluted method to
+ * determine this, by listing out known LVs and checking whether the
+ * rdev (major/minor) of the device we are passed matches any of them.
+ *
+ * Note use of 'stat' instead of 'lstat' so that symlinks are fully
+ * resolved.
