low_water_mark is not supported yet in the lvm2 stack,
and there is not yet clear definition how is it going to be used.

For now dmeventd is based on 10sec polling interval.

However there needs to be made clean definition for various error path,
and we have to also support 'clean' shutdown for those paths according
to defined policy.

I think the lvm2app needs some extension here and rather
make the 'lvcreate_params' structure a visible object with some methods,
and use just one universal function call to create all types
of LVs - so we can better match the internal lvm2 processing.
i.e. there is going to be support for creation of thin
lvs with external origins - so adding  lvm API call for every
possible use case of thin pool is IMHO less clean then maintenance
of 'lvcreate_params' object separately from lvm_lv_create() call.

Similar abstraction needs to be made for i.e. lvconvert command,
which has an internal  lvconvert_params.
