7c3d3f2a87 dm persistent data: add threshold callback to space map
Add a threshold callback function to the persistent data space map
interface for a subsequent patch to use.

dm-thin and dm-cache are interested in knowing when they're getting
low on metadata or data blocks.  This patch introduces a new method
for registering a callback against a threshold.

3241b1d3e0 dm: add persistent data library
The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.

For further information, please read
