*
* DM_TARGET_MSG:
* Pass a message string to the target at a specific offset of a device.
+ *
+ * DM_DEV_SET_GEOMETRY:
+ * Set the geometry of a device by passing in a string in this format:
+ *
+ * "cylinders heads sectors_per_track start_sector"
+ *
+ * Beware that CHS geometry is nearly obsolete and only provided
+ * for compatibility with dm devices that can be booted by a PC
+ * BIOS. See struct hd_geometry for range limits. Also note that
+ * the geometry is erased if the device size changes.
