Bug#569290: un-prefer /dev/block/* names more strongly than in lvm.conf

Hi,

In Ubuntu, we discovered a problem with lvm2's choice of device path when
examining disks that were at the same depth as /dev/block/* (namely
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1, etc).

Blocking this via lvm.conf doesn't work in the case where /dev/block/* is
the only device path for a given disk.

Please see:

Thanks!
