Look for a thread started 6th of september - subject "pv_move_pe() error
again". 

My patch is available at:
http://vestinternett.no/~ragnark/download/LVM_ignore_read_errors.patch2

But like I explained in my original post, and others commented in the
said thread, the patch is not 100%. There was a suggested change later
in the same thread that was smaller than mine (it didn't change the
locking), and is much cleaner if it works. I'd try that first, if I were
you.
