I wish I'd known you were also working on toollib.c; we could have
coordinated the sequence of changes a little better.  Perhaps we could
all push our in-progress work to an lvm2.git branch like I've done in
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/log/?h=dev-dct-process-each

OK, it'll be nice to get rid of the nomda case.  I'll study your changes
further and try to rework my new process_each_pv to avoid using pv_read.
Perhaps you'll then be able to drop the toollib commit in your tree.
