eb850de608 dm stripe: support for non power of 2 chunksize
Support non-power-of-2 chunk sizes with dm striping for proper alignment
of stripe IO on storage that has non-power-of-2 optimal IO sizes (e.g.
RAID6 10+2).

f14fa693c9 dm stripe: fix size test
dm-stripe is supposed to ensure that all the space allocated to the
stripes is fully used and that all stripes are the same size.  This
patch fixes the test.  It checks that device length is divisible by the
chunk size and checks that the resulting quotient is divisible by the
number of stripes (which is equivalent to testing if device length is
divisible by chunk_size * stripes).

Previously, the code only tested that the number of sectors in the target
was divisible by each of the chunk size and the number of stripes
separately, which could leave entire stripes unused.

(A setup that genuinely needs some stripes to be shorter than others
can be created by concatenating striped targets.)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
