I can mount and use my lvm2 partitions under mdev. As I said, I don't
yet know whether lvm2's full functionality is available.
I suspect there'll be quite a few packages which list udev as a
dependency, yet work well enough under mdev.

The solution to this, ugly though it might be, is to leave udev in the
system so as to allow these other packages to be merged.
