Honestly, for now I just want to avoid the tests failing due to lvm
stupidity.  If someone has the time to do something more elaborate
(I don't right now), the proper thing is to stop using lvm and replace
it with something less stupid.  That might be direct use of dm,
or simulating failures with null_blk or scsi_debug.
