How does it compare to straight LVM for virtual images?  I create a big
LV and then only use part of it for the host OS VG; when I create VMs, I
create a VG for each (or I can snapshot an existing "base" VG).

It is my understanding that one goal for btrfs is to take LVM out of the
picture for the common case; i.e. btrfs can do its own logical volume
management.  If that's the case, there needs to be something comparable
to the VM-on-VG setup (in terms of ease-of-management and performance).
