      I do this all the time to get disk space for domUs.  I have
 never had any problems, except when trying to rename LVs (I just
 don't do that any more).  The biggest issue is that GENERIC doesn't
 have, or didn't have, dm(4).  There is nothing inherent in LVM that
 indicates you should have multiple PVs, it's just another way of
 slicing up a disk.
