Public bug reported:

when using the -c output of pvdisplay the man page says the value of the
third column is " * physical volume size in kilobytes"

It is not. The value is the size of the physical volume in 512byte
blocks.

This could lead an admin (me) to doing the wrong match and destroying
filesystems with LVM2 as a result.
