First, where did you find that (referring to the udb7 <-> swap)?
Second, it doesn't work any differently: 

Kernel command line: ubd7=swap2
eth0=daemon,,,/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl ubd0=uml2
root=/dev/ubd0

uml2:~# swapon /dev/ubd7
swapon: /dev/ubd7: No such device
uml2:~# ls -al /dev/ubd7
brw-rw----    1 root     disk      98,   7 Dec 30 18:09 /dev/ubd7

Thanx anyway,
