md-mod doesn't provide the raid0 personality; raid0 does.  I've changed
the test to attempt loading raid0 if it isn't loaded.

I'd be interested to know if you still have problems with the test.  If
so we should get to the bottom of it (maybe require a minimum mdadm
version?).

t-pvcreate-operation-md.sh does provide needed testing of LVM2's MD
support so it shouldn't be skipped.
