well, an LSR needs to allocate labels also for other nodes' loopbacks,
so this alone will not be enough ;-)

However, IOS now has a label allocation filter
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/mpls/configuration/guide/mp_ldp_all
oc_filter.html) having a "allocate global host-routes" shorthand to only
allocate labels for /32s (or uses a prefix-list for more granular
control)..
