_After_ doing that to have the mapping safe, it occurs to one that if
the mapping is indeed live, you could just dump the decrypted block
device image elsewhere (either re-encrypted or not). This would reduce
the problem into a generic filesystem recovery one, with no need to
tinker with reconstructing the original mapping.
