Swap on LVM should be no problem, the important point is where the /boot
partition lies. Once the bootloader was able to load the kernel+ramdisk, and
this ramdisk/kernel combination supports LVM, there should be no major problem
with regard to this which would be arch-dependent.
For info, i have done swap-on-lvm on powerpc/pegasos, altough i kept the /boot
outside of LVM to be able to boot the kernel/ramdisk from it.
