2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

commit ec8013beddd717d1740cfefb1a9b900deef85462 upstream.

A logical volume can map to just part of underlying physical volume.
In this case, it must be treated like a partition.

Based on a patch from Alasdair G Kergon.
