LVM is fully supported from 3.5.2. You don't need to populate /dev with the lvm block files. They are created by the lvm binaries (see man vgscan and lvscan) in the autoinstall script at runtime. And when the image is installed the startup script is able to detect and create the files in the installed /dev. This is valid for each distro.
