Ccd is a nice simple solution, but by using it you lose the
ability to dynamically add and remove swap and play other tricks
like swap device prioritization.  (Actually, prioritization would
require a better abstraction for the swap subsystem anyway.)  On
the other hand, the static limit on the number of devices is
annoying.  But the point is that the swap striping code isn't
entirely redundant.
