I don't know about the 64bit compile switches (I only have a 32bit HP box) but
to get LVM running you'll need to take all the bits from
arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c inside the 

#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM_MODULE)

#endif

and replace the bits from arch/parisc/kernel/ioctl32.c with them. I suspect it
will work. If it does then get a patch together and put it into the CVS !

I'm pleased (though not very surprised) that LVM works OK on 32 bit machines.
