On F17 at least, this command fails:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/lvcreate --name sparsetest -L 0K --virtualsize 16384K vgvirt
Unable to create new logical volume with no extents
Which is unfortunate since allocation=0 is what virt-manager tries to use
by default.
Rather than telling the user 'don't do that', let's just give them the
smallest allocation possible if alloc=0 is requested.
