Mohan, I'm having difficultly getting your patch to apply at the moment.
 I wanted to use it as the basis of this work.  Would you have time to
update your patch against head?

I was going to create a new opaque type, create a base initialize
function and then add get/set functions for items you have.  This would
then become the parameter to feed into the thinp functions.  I was going
to omit the low water mark for now.

I don't know off hand what all the possible parameters for the thin pool
creation vs. the thin lv creation, but from the patch it looks like thus
far there are more parameters when creating the thin pool?  Do we need
opaque parameters for the thin pool creation and the thin logical volume
creation?

You are more than welcome to take a pass at this too if you have the
bandwidth :-)

Thanks,
Tony
