lvdisplay - with empty list will substitutes with all VGs - thus effectively
display all LVs from all VGs - but it doesn't mean there is some substitution
for LVs. It's the effect of command that it displays all LVs from given VG.
Lots of commands scans for all LVs in given VGs  (i.e. vgchange).

So this patch is rejected.
