I can only use swap _file_ in this config, and swapping into file is

Not so. With a 2.4.x kernel swap files were slower than swap
partitions, but with the 2.6 kernel a swap file is just as fast as a
swap partition.

Hmm.
Last time, when i try the 2.6.16.x, i have lost close to 4000 users home,
and documents on XFS filesystem!
(a lot of directory have renamed to "/*" like this one: "/ost+found" in the
root.)
I don't want to try it again! :-)
That sounds like a pretty serious bug.
Are you sure it was caused by the kernel?
Did you report the bug to LKML & the XFS maintainers so it can get fixed?
