[linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[svetljo]

well it's suposed to be known,
almost every program( or every exept the comercial) for linux goes this way
./configure make make install , and when you are instaling binaries from 
rpm they are configured for the most common PC and then compiled with " 
make " installing the rpm = make install
and smth of the kind should be mentioned somewhere , probably in README 
or INSTALL in the lvm dir
