(updated for endian issue) mkswap followed by pvcreate on a block device will still turn up as "swap" in blkid, because pvcreate isn't particularly careful about zeroing old signatures. (neither is mkswap, for that matter). Testing for appropriate version and page counts gives us a bit more confidence that we have a real swap (v1) partition.
