This does not read very well how about:

When starting a domain with a disk backed by a device-mapper volume
libvirt also needs to allow the storage backing the device mapper in
cgroups.

But that acutally brings me to yet another question: You described the
problem with multipath devices. But given that LVM or dm-crypt would
basically suffer from the same problems it would be great if you also
could figure out the root of the problem. Also it might be interresting
to know if it's similarly happening with multiple layers of
device-mapper volumes since 'dmsetup deps' (and the equivalent algorithm
added in this series) does not resolve the device nodes recursively.
