You can layer lvm above linux-raid, so you get both mirroring, or any other
raid level for that matter and lvm toghether.
It is not a big problem to have root on LVM, the problem is having
the kernel on a LV
just create a normal partition and put the kernel there,
use an initrd to start lvm before mounting root.
the reason for this is that so the kernel is not bloated with code
that should live in userspace (vgscan, vgchange)
