[linux-lvm] how to add an lvm entry in /dev/mapper to /dev/sda

This is what blkid shows on my system

/dev/sda1: UUID="6876c294-0c70-4b4e-87a2-636ea19e5ed6" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: UUID="5060205e-daa0-4635-8806-8f0b70623f78" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda6: UUID="UMmBxP-upFM-H3S4-neHF-XYyo-gs3Q-rZsWMx" TYPE="LVM2_member"
/dev/mapper/nintendo-backupp1:
UUID="22b018f5-1512-4bbb-85e0-cc02e772d0ab" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/mapper/nintendo-backupp5:
UUID="aeb66e1a-a3c5-434c-9b73-309adf05d81b" TYPE="swap"
/dev/mapper/nintendo-backup1:
UUID="22b018f5-1512-4bbb-85e0-cc02e772d0ab" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/mapper/nintendo-backup5:
UUID="aeb66e1a-a3c5-434c-9b73-309adf05d81b" TYPE="swap"

I want all the devices in /dev/mapper as you see above to be in
/dev/sda6 because I have other LVMs which are in /dev/sda6 which blkid
does not show me.
