[CentOS-virt] using an lvm for kvm vm

Is there a simple way to directly install a vm on an lvm (or proably
seperate LVM's for root and swap)? For example something like:
lvcreate -L 10G -n testvm_root vg_myvg
lvcreate -L 1G -n testvm_swap
Then somehow setup the VM to be able to directly install and boot the vm
from these LV's. How do I do this?
Could you then pause the virtual machine and safely take an LVM
snapshot, continue the VM and then mount the snapshot on the host and do
a backup?
This would be for CentOS/Redhat 6.
Thanks,
Nataraj
