(const struct lvm_proper_value *v)

avoid doing local copy of the 'v' structure - currently it's not a big
difference, but as you pointed out in other emails - it could be extended in
future. And I think we are using  pointers in other calls as well - so we
should stay consistent also internally - and just pass pointers all the time -
instead of thinking when to use struct and when the pointer should be passed.
