Log message:
	Fix for bug 737200 - Can't create mirrored-log mirror on a VG with small extents
	
	Kernel requires a mirror to be at least 1 region large.  So,
	if our mirror log is itself a mirror, it must be at least
	1 region large.  This restriction may not be necessary for
	non-mirrored logs, but we apply the rule anyway.
	
	(The other option is to make the region size of the log
	mirror smaller than the mirror it is acting as a log for,
	but that really complicates things.  It's much easier to
	keep the region_size the same for both.)

 Version 2.02.89 - 
 ==================================
+  Fix mirrored log creation when PE size is small - force log_size >= region_size
   Fix improper RAID 64-bit status flag reset when and'ing against 32-bit flag.
   Fix log size calculation when only a log is being added to a mirror.
   Work around resume_lv causing error LV scanning during splitmirror operation.
