Done, thanks (the provision support, not the passdown)! I think the
one case where passdown might help is to build images with dm-thinp
already set up on one of the partitions (I have something in the works
for ChromiumOS images to do VM tests with preset state :)). That would
allow us to preallocate space for thin logical volumes inside the
image file.
