I've been looking into what I would have to do to try and enable that. Right now I'm using serpent (in the readme and in the source, plus it works), but AES is supposed to be much faster (looking at NIST's benchmarks). You should need to fix it in two places. crypt_type_tbl which has the number, text-name and keylength (which I don't know for AES) and lower for the big switch on lo_encrypt_type, where it would presumably be included with LO_CRYPT_SERPENT and the rest. I've been saving this particular hack for a rainy day, but I think that is correct. Most of my losetup-like hacking has been done in my own personal bootloader and outside of the normal utilities.
