patch to add nolvm boot option

Description of problem:

Customer is suffering from a problem with LVM activation that requires the ability to boot the system without the normal wholesale LVM activation.

The proposal is to add the ability to disable the rc.sysinit lvm activation via a root file or cmdline option.

In addition this would provide an extremely useful diagnostic/recovery option when dealing with other LVM/storage problems.

Do you need this for rhel-6.5 or could it wait for 6.6?
