Eric:  We decided to go with this extra flag since gathering the block
info was seen as a potentially expensive operation which users would
want to selectively enable.  Do you have any thoughts on how expensive
this would be in practice?  We are considering enabling it
unconditionally in oVirt and am weighing a decision between A)
Simplicity and Cacheability vs. B) Performance.

Thanks.
