I don't think you can, actually. There are no metric files
for oldstyle in the latin modern distribution, only an encoding
vector (and .map).

Pdftex either uses entries from the 'lining' map file, or from
the 'oldstyle' mapfile, but it has no way of distinguising
between the two (the fonts have the same metrics).

The reverse of the old oldstyle trick should work though:

   \def\liningfigures#1{\mathematics{#1}}

Cheers, Taco
