2012-03-28dm: add verity targetMikulas Patocka
This device-mapper target creates a read-only device that transparently validates the data on one underlying device against a pre-generated tree of cryptographic checksums stored on a second device. Two checksum device formats are supported: version 0 which is already shipping in Chromium OS and version 1 which incorporates some improvements.
