Christoph Hellwig e980f62353 dm: don't allow ioctls to targets that don't map to whole devices
.. at least for unprivileged users.  Before we called into the SCSI
ioctl code to allow excemptions for a few SCSI passthrough ioctls,
but this is pretty unsafe and except for this call dm knows nothing
about SCSI ioctls.

As the SCSI ioctl code is now optional, we really don't want to
drag it in for DM, and the exception is not very useful anyway.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
