Enable write pipelining if dm-linear is stacked on top of a driver that
supports write pipelining.

Hi

What if you have multiple linear targets in a table? Then, the write order 
would not be preserved.

How is write pipelining supposed to work with suspend/resume? dm doesn't 
preserve the order of writes in case of suspend.
