how do I need to use it to be secure?

As far as I know dm-crypt/cryptsetup doesn't use LRW at all, so this is
not an issue anyways(?)

lrw was added to kernel 2.6.20. so now I should be able to use "aes-lrw"
everywhere I used "aes-plain" or "aes-essiv" as far as I know.
But I haven't found documentation so far - e.g. how to pass the tweak
key to the kernel.
