_alloc_init calculates the number of necessary log extents via 'mirror_log_extents'. 'mirror_log_extents' takes 3 arguments: region_size, pe_size, and size of the mirror LV. Unfortunately, _alloc_init is guessing at the mirror size by using 'ah->new_extents / ah->area_multiple' - the number of extents that the mirror images have. However, this is /always/ wrong when allocating the log separately. Further, the log is always allocated separately unless we are up-converting the mirror at the same time. It was by luck alone that a default value of '1' reflects what we want in most cases. In order to get a decent value computed, we need to pass in the 'lv' argument to allocate_extents. This would normally imply a desire for cling/contiguous allocation to the given LV, but since we are not allocating any parallel extents and only log extents, it works fine.
