 * We need to store a record of which parts of the origin have

 *
 * There is no backward or forward compatibility implemented,
 * snapshots with different disk versions than the kernel will
 * not be usable.  It is expected that "lvcreate" will blank out
 * the start of a fresh COW device before calling the snapshot
 * constructor.
 *
 * The first chunk of the COW device just contains the header.
 * After this there is a chunk filled with exception metadata,
 * followed by as many exception chunks as can fit in the
 * metadata areas.
 *
 * All on disk structures are in little-endian format.  The end
 * of the exceptions info is indicated by an exception with a
