This patch, on top of xfs cvs (2.4.17-xfs), with the LVM 1.0.1 upgrade
patch applied, then the VFS lock patch, works for me.  Note that this is
stolen from the 1.0.1rc4(ish) version of LVM in Linus' kernel.  It uses
the built-in blocks from lv_snap->lv_iobuf->blocks rather than declaring
a new chunk of blocks.

I tested snapshot creation & overflow with ext2, ext3, reiser, and xfs. 
I have not looked closely enough to see why xfs breaks w/o this patch,
and why it works with it, but... give it a shot.
