Having / and swap on EVMS volumes should be no problem. If you are using 
Grub, you can have /boot on a disk partition that is managed by EVMS, but you 
won't be able to add any other volume features to that partition. Check out a 
discussion from earlier this week about EVMS and Grub at:

You can use BBR objects as input to other EVMS features. For instance, if you 
have three disks, you could put BBR on each of the disks, and then use 
DriveLinking to link all the BBR objects into a single object, and then make 
that a volume. This was a popular configuration under OS/2.
