You could put your lvm on top of the multipathed dm-device. For which
you may have to disable lvm probing in the initrd phase. You can do this
by changing your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and then running mkinitrd.
You have to change the filter line to be like this:
filter = [ "a|/dev/mapper.*|", "a|/dev/disk/by-name/.*|", "r|.*|" ]
Let me know if this helps.
