I'm a bit confused after reading this. Just to make things clear. Would
bluestore be put on top of a LVM volume (in an ideal world)? Has
bluestore in Ceph luminious support for LVM? I.e. is there code in
bluestore to support LVM? Or is it _just_ support of `ceph-volume lvm`
for bluestore?

We're still in a green field situation. Users with an installed base
will have to comment on this. If the assumption that bluestore would be
put on top of LVM is true, it would make things simpler (in our own Ceph
ansible playbook).
