I think it was superseded by later Mike's approach to reverse the logic
- disable write same for all targets and require to explicitly allow it.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/md/dm-table.c?id=c1a94672a830e01d58c7c7e8de530c3f136d6ff2
(+later patches)

So I think we do no need this patch upstream anymore.

Mike, am I right here?
