I've put up an actualized loop-iv-2.4.10.patch

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hvr/

fyi, just ignoring the rejects would have been the right thing,
since what the failed hunk was supposed to fix, has been already fixed
in 2.4.10... :-)

another nice thing is, that the other 2.4.10 changes to loop.c allow us
to get rid of one buffer-allocate+copy-overhead, by the use of
LO_FLAGS_BH_REMAP, so we can use in-place encryption...

now I've got only to audit the ciphers to check, whether they are safe
regarding in-place operation...
