Subject: [PATCH] virdevmapper: Don't cache device-mapper major

The device mapper major is needed in virIsDevMapperDevice() which
determines whether given device is managed by device-mapper. This
number is obtained by parsing /proc/devices and then stored in a
global variable so that the file doesn't have to be parsed again.
However, as it turns out this logic is flawed - the major number
is not static and can change as it can be specified as a
parameter when loading the dm-mod module.

Unfortunately, I was not able to come up with a good solution and
thus the /proc/devices file is being parsed every time we need
the device mapper major.
