Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
See this issue. Essentially, device mapper allows you to do things like write mount a disk where the writes are redirected to testing error devices and so on. It is also needed by ddr-mount
Describe the solution you'd like
Building the kernel with CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH
Describe alternatives you've considered
ddr-mount should not require people to compile their own kernels. Currently, I have listed that it does not support WSL because of it. I would, however, like to support WSL.
