No... please don't...

Maybe offer an option to select between snapshots or no-snapshots but in 
much the same way there is no _functional_ difference between a 
subvolume and a snapshot in btrfs, there is no "degenerate" status to an 
LVM snapshot.

It would be way more useful if the helper dumped a message via stderr or 
syslog that said something like "UUID=xxxxxxxx ambiguous, must select 
between /dev/AA and /dev/BB using device= to mount filesystem."
