i was having the same issue.  linking to the source of a higher kernel 
version didnt work for me.  even worse, the driver for my qlogic qla2340 
isnt supported with higher kernel versions so recompiling is out of the 
question.

i edited the $PATHTOSOURCE/LVM2.2.00.06/lib/device/dev-io.h file.  I placed 
a "begin comment" at line215 and an "end comment" at the end of line219.

the program compiled without a hickup.

take care,
-Chris
