Heh, booting with udev_log="debug" resulted in a 1.1M console log
file...  Truly amazing.

# /lib/udev/dmsetup_env 254 0
DM_UUID=mpath-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11
DM_TABLE_STATE=LIVE
DM_STATE=ACTIVE
DM_NAME=nfs

The problem is not this.  It's much more basic:

(initramfs) cd /lib/udev/rules.d
(initramfs) ls
50-udev-default.rules            60-persistent-storage.rules
55-dm.rules                      70-persistent-net.rules
56-lvm.rules                     80-drivers.rules
60-persistent-storage-dm.rules   91-permissions.rules
60-persistent-storage-lvm.rules

That is, 60-kpartx.rules is not present in the initramfs!
No wonder it does not work. :)

NP, I know how it goes...
