I'm experiencing an issue where both kpartx and cryptsetup hang
infinitely. For kpartx, I traced it down to the lack of dmsetup udev
rules in the rootfs, the same problem as in
https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/22025#issuecomment-243943728

Adding lvm2 to my image fixed it, but that defeats the purpose of this
patch... ;-}

Peter, do you know which parts of lvm2 are needed for kpartx
+libdevicemapper to work correctly? My initial attempt with moving just
the udev rules to the libdevicemapper packages was either flawed or
incomplete.
