[linux-lvm] EVMS

We have doing quite a bit of testing and have not seen any other issues
with using the 2 together.

>Both the EVMS and XFS teams are working to get this supported in the next
release.  >(That looks to be a couple of months away.)

All the code has been checked into CVS for the repective projects.  EVMS
also has a patch available on our website for XFS 1.1 to allow the 2 to
work together properly.
