I have written a kernel patch + user space tools which allows mounted resizing of ext2 filesystems. I had a quick look at the ext3 code, and there aren't many changes to the super.c file which would affect my resizer, so they shouldn't have any problem trying to coexist. The patches themselves won't apply cleanly together, since they both add a new variable to the parse_options() function. There are likely a few other conflicts in the patch as well. You can get my patch from my web page: http://www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger/online-ext2/
As for LVM, it is entirely independent of filesystems. There is already a fairly widely used Linux LVM at: http://linux.msede.com/lvm
