dm crypt: add loop aes iv generator
This patch adds a compatible implementation of the block
chaining mode used by the Loop-AES block device encryption
system (http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/) designed
by Jari Ruusu.
It operates on full 512 byte sectors and uses CBC
with an IV derived from the sector number, the data and
optionally extra IV seed.
This means that after CBC decryption the first block of sector
must be tweaked according to decrypted data.
Loop-AES can use three encryption schemes:
version 1: is plain aes-cbc mode (already compatible)
version 2: uses 64 multikey scheme with own IV generator
version 3: the same as version 2 with additional IV seed
(it uses 65 keys, last key is used as IV seed)
The IV generator is here named lmk (Loop-AES multikey)
and for the cipher specification looks like: aes:64-cbc-lmk
Version 2 and 3 is recognised according to length
of provided multi-key string (which is just hexa encoded
"raw key" used in original Loop-AES ioctl).
Configuration of the device and decoding key string will
be done in userspace (cryptsetup).
(Loop-AES stores keys in gpg encrypted file, raw keys are
output of simple hashing of lines in this file).
Based on an implementation by Max Vozeler:
