I just created this to track the various issues around Btrfs shrink
and utilities that maybe/probably should support it.

https://pagure.io/fedora-btrfs/project/issue/35

I think the main thing that Anaconda needs is already in libblockdev.
But it's missing a minimum size check. That issue is referenced in the
fedora-btrfs#35 issue. I'm not sure where it belongs, but there
probably needs to be a check for number of devices and only support
shrink on single device Btrfs.
