It needs to be recognised by the lvm userspace utilities before it can be used.
One other thing this might be very useful for is `swsusp from encrypted swap'. With dm-crypt, it should be very easy to create a crypto mapping from initrd from which swsusp can resume. IMHO this is a killer feature for notebook users (everything encrypted but the boot partition).
