Problems matching road crank chainline with MTB 135mm hub chainline

Thanks for the ideas everybody.

Ideally, I would like to keep the road cranks on the MTB and not mess with the cranks chainline. The spacer rearrangement of the rear cog is a good idea. But, I thought that it wasn't possible. I mean, supposing I get a new 135mm fixed hub (ex: Surly, Iro, Kogswell, Van Dessel, etc) and the chainline on the rear is too far out. Can I push the rear cog chainline in to match the narrow road crank chainline? Will I be able to push the chainline in far enough to match the road crank's chainline? For some idiotic reason, I thought that the rear chainline can only be adjusted out.
