There is EVMS, which includes support for many LVM formats, including AIX
and OS/2 voulmes.  EVMS1 which needs it's own kernel-level driver is
obsoleted now by EVMS2 that sits ontop of the devicemapper, which basically
is a simple in-kernel block-remapper like what's proposed here.  If you
implemented the devmapper API in NetBSD you could probably make that code
a port easily to support all those foreign LVMs :)
