I do! I'm running a 2.2.18pre something kernel with the patch in
/usr/share/doc/lvm.

How about packaging both versions? Is there precedent for that kind
of thing. I guess Emacs is one---there's an emacs19 and an emacs20.
How about doing the same sort of thing with the lvm utilities?
Alternatively, if there is one, provide a suitable kernel patch for
the latest protocol---I think the disk format is the same, so that
would also be workable.
