Using a logical volume as the root filesystem does not require the
bootloader to be able to read LVM. It just requires an initrd or
initramfs, because the kernel itself cannot read LVM on its own. Only
having /boot on LVM requires the bootloader to be able to read LVM.
The same goes with software RAID.
