Well, in theory we don't need BIOS support. The BIOS will check that the 
first sector of the device is signed with 55AAh and just jump into the 
code in the first sector. So if LVM leaves the first sector and track 
(so grub can hide there) alone, it should work just fine.

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer 
Poland.
