Hmm. After further twiddling (and fixing :-) it turns out that the dm_linear
feature does work as expected, but the YaST2 partitioner has troubles detecting
those device-mapper devices as something useable.

So, the proposed workaround is the following:

- Ignore the warning and install on one of the first 15 partitions.
- After installation check if the root-fs is mounted via 'disk/by-id'
- Activate dm_linear with
  activate_dm_linear /dev/sda
- Re-write the initrd with
  DM_BLOCK=1 mkinitrd -k <vmlinuz> -i <initrd>
- Reboot

it will now reboot with the boot-device on a device-mapper device and all
partitions will be visible via device-mapper devices, too.
