There is also another set of patches for the loop device, written by
Andrew Mileski. These patches move all cryptography out of the loop
device itself, enabling the data transformation/crypto to be compiled
into separate modules, which seems like a sensible idea.
The original patches, including a patch for mount, are available from:
ftp://fractal.mta.ca/pub/users/aem/crypto/
I've updated the *-kernel and *-crypto patches to work with 2.1.108.
I'll make these updates available from:
ftp://mail1.bet1.puv.fi/incoming/
I think the *-kernel patch could safely be merged with the mainstream
kernel (this includes the XOR-encryption). The *-crypto patch contains
serious cryptography such as IDEA and CAST, and probably suffer from
those silly and annoying export restrictions. Note that the patches
remove DES (it should be moved to a separate file instead, with the
Berkeley patches applied).
I did not manage to patch /usr/src/linux/arch/m68k/config.in at all.
