We currently use LVM to provide disks to our Xen VMs. It seems as though
kickstart insists on always creating a partition on a disk, instead of
just using the whole disk.

However what we'd like to do is, for example, the LVM volume appears as
/dev/hdd to the VM, we'd like to have kickstart just create a filesystem
on this device and use it.

There's no problem doing this after the kickstart (eg. mkfs.ext3
/dev/hdd; mount /dev/hdd /somewhere) but kickstart seems to insist on
creating a /dev/hdd1. This causes problems as we have to calculate the
offset and can't easily take advantage of LVM features like snapshotting
for backups.

Anyone know of a way to do this?
