Just to be obtuse ...
Unless your trying to make a "warm" backup where you take the memory 
state and entire disk contents. Then it would be convenient to have it 
all in one disk and preferable to snapshot the swap.
At any rate I sure hope support for using an entire lv as a partition 
does not go away. I have not heard a good reason for it to yet.
