When we discussed this I suggested storing the information directly against each LV
just as we do for other properties.  So you'd set it with lvcreate/lvchange or
inherit setting from vgcreate/vgchange or use default from lvm.conf or fallback
to builtin default.

That builds upon this patch, which is the first step.
