Think of it like this

EVMS interface -> EVMS MD/raid/LVM -> EVMS 'mapper'
LVM2 interface -> device mapper

The kernel development folks did not like the EVMS kernel side stuff.
The device mapper, developed for LVM2 (but it is NOT lvm2) was liked,
so we get 

EVMS interface -> kernel MD/raid/LVM -> device mapper

Which should look the same form a user perspective.
