loop-AES changes since previous release:
- Makefile updated to work with 2.6.6-rc3 kernel.
- build-initrd.sh changed to consume 40 KB less kernel RAM when used with
gpg encrypted key files. This change may break really old gpg versions
that choke with read-only mounted keyrings.
- Kernel patch versions now require removal of drivers/block/loop.c and
include/linux/loop.h source files before patch can be applied.
- Added back aes.c code that avoids byte swaps on big endian boxes. This
change improves performance on all non-x86 computers.
- Security fix: restrict length of passphrase to max 4094 bytes when it is
read from file descriptor using "mount -p 0" option.
- Added ioctl32 compatibility that is needed on 64bit boxes running 32bit
losetup/mount programs (2.4 and 2.6 kernels).
- Fixed build-initrd.sh incompatibility with distros that have system
libraries in /lib64 instead of /lib
