Had a quick look at this in more detail. Neither the ec2 nor the ec2_facts module expose this information. It is available but in particular adding it to ec2_facts module would require fundamental changes (as currently the ec2_facts module gets all of its information from logging onto the box and reading the metadata, whereas this information would only be available through talking to the API - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5251057/using-boto-to-find-to-which-device-and-ebs-volume-is-mounted). I'm not adverse to such a change but making it optional and non-breaking for other users of the module is probably the challenge.
Returning the value from the ec2 module is probably quite straightforward, on the other hand.
