Well, if you linux system is on a primary partition, you have no limits. On m system I don"t use elilo (but refit and grub) and my Linux root partition is on a primary partition so I can boot on it. And after boot, Linux recognizes the GPT partition scheme and can use swap on a GPT partition only. At first, I thought that Linux won't recognize the GPT partitions if I boot with the legacy BIOS but that's not the case.
