I wondering about the status of encrypted loopback support in the 2.5 kernel series. I know crypto-api was merged in, but I haven't been able to find any pointers about encrypting loopback devices, and I haven't seen any pointers to this after searching. It would also be nice to be able to apply encryption to a partition directly, without a loopback, although I can see that this might require a new set of ioctls and might introduce some incompatibilities.
