Turned out it was even easier. All I had to do was ... nothing. The rc.d 
scripts in Fedora 7 automatically scanned for md arrays and LVM volumes. 
After booting Fedora 7, the lvm volumes were already there in 
/dev/<my-vg-name>/<my-lv-name> (and also /dev/mapper). All I had to do 
was add a line to fstab. Sorry for all the bother about something that 
turned out to be trivial.
