Search the xen-users and xen-devel ML for "GPL PV Drivers". These drivers
are developed by James Harper and AFAIK currently in version 0.8.8.
There _are_ issues using these drivers, but after a lot of testing I'm
using at least the network drivers without any problems.

In general, LV's and flat files are not really different from the guests

...)
instead of a whole disk (sda, xvda, hda ...) to the guest.
