LVM doesn't require metadata on all PVs so this should be probably changed in the future. And it
only confirms this patch is the right solution -- if such minimum size in kickstart is valid, it
should raise an exception and if our presumptions about the minimum format sizes are wrong, it's
these presumptions that should be fixed.
