The SWAPGEN EXEC from Sine Nomine will do a nice job of writing a swap
signature to it before you IPL your guest.  Then, you just need to make sure
that the DASD DIAG driver is built into your kernel, or load it as a module.
Then, you should be able to just put an entry into /etc/fstab for it, like
you would for a "real" swap disk/partition.

Instructions for setting up an FBA VDISK (which is slower than an DIAG one)
can be found at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/vdiskswp.html
