They are all the stack. Which parts of the stack you need depends on
which devices you want to run. USBSTOR as it's name implies handles
storage devices.

In general LVM does not apply to large floppy formatted removable devices.
There's no place to store the LVM info since there's no partition table.

This is more of a limitation of the current USB storage drivers. They
don't recognize all permutations of somewhat ad hoc formatting used by the
various WinXX drivers.
