 It seems that dependencies (holders/slaves) between devices is pretty
 generic thing. Why do you think that we need claimer-specific method?
 The /sys filesystem is better that ictls in many ways.

Also, one more thing.  In btrfs, there's no block device for the
master device.  You can add the slaves directory somewhere and your
choice would be as good as any other's but it just will not be generic
while being superflous exactly the same way it's superflous for md and
dm devices.

Thanks.
