Details:

LVM pvcreate and vgconvert offers --bootloaderareasize for : "Create a
separate bootloader area of specified size besides PV's data area. .../...
This is primarily aimed for use with bootloaders to embed their own data or
metadata."

That area would be clean target and allow simple configuration for LVM,
RAID+LVM, etc. without partitioning complexity prerequisite.
