try to recompile kernel with
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y

(old lvm will not understand new sysfs design, this should
provide old sysfs entries)

yes, this is another option, new lvm2 (I think >2.02.29) should work.
But note that also device-mapper library must be updated.
