My now-defunct loop container (which was created under kerneli's 2.4.3.1
patch) was blowfish, and it was readable by cryptoapi-2.4.7.0 until I
recompiled my loop.o and the cryptoapi modules for IV_MODE_SECTOR.
Perhaps blowfish will work without IV_MODE_SECTOR?
I haven't yet had time to retry it.

No, but coding generally moves a lot faster than documentation. :)
