allow restore of volume from its snapshot
currently we can take a snapshot from a volume which is a read only snapshot and can only be used to create new volumes.
I think that we should allow restore of the original volume from the snapshot.
please see bug 1262656 for further details

(smcginnis): Marking obsolete as this has been sitting out there for a long time. If this is still needed, please submit a new bp.
Would it be more efficient to use LVM's revert even though it removes the snapshot, then just create a new snapshot with the old snaps name?
It is possible to follow this approach and the snapshot can revert the original volume only in ths case. I think at first we can implement the volume revert with th LVM's revert, so a new possible operation "revert_volume" could be added correspondingly. -----Vincent Hou
