+ * dm_early_create - create a mapped device in early boot.
+ *
+ * @dmi: Contains main information of the device mapping to be created.
+ * @spec_array: array of pointers to struct dm_target_spec. Describes the
+ * mapping table of the device.
+ * @target_params_array: array of strings with the parameters to a specific
+ * target.
+ *
+ * Instead of having the struct dm_target_spec and the parameters for every
+ * target embedded at the end of struct dm_ioctl (as performed in a normal
+ * ioctl), pass them as arguments, so the caller doesn't need to serialize them.
+ * The size of the spec_array and target_params_array is given by
+ * @dmi->target_count.
+ * This function is supposed to be called in early boot, so locking mechanisms
+ * to protect against concurrent loads are not required.
