Ignore swap devices on install

Hi list:

It has been a problem to tell anaconda to not use some swap devices at install time.  I have created a solution (if you can call it that) that adds a argument for kickstart in RHEL5.  It basically tells anaconda : "Do not touch this list of swap devices".  And anaconda does not use them at install time and does not add them to /etc/fstab at the end of installation.
The solution involves code for anaconda and for pykickstart.

Patch is attached.  comments greatly appreciated.
