LVM does NOT have support for multipath. in *redhat* kernels there is a patch that adds multipath support to the md driver, you configure it as a raid-1 array, but it is actually a multipath configuration. it is the only way i know of doing what you want. btw. i never tried this, i have an XP512 but i don't have a fc card supported by linux on intel (should i tri with pa-linux?)
