TIA! dm-crypt uses kernel cryptoAPI, so if you implement proper driver for cryptoAPI and this driver will be primary (or automatically detected) for the cipher/mode it will be used in dm-crypt. But it if it is not able to separate encryption from io path, you cannot use it in dm-crypt. But you can stack other block devices over it (like LVM).
