Well, maybe you noticed some changes in dmcrypt and even
cryptsetup which were directly closely related
to this problem.

AFAIK FIPS 140-2 is always related to some hw config,
but in principle (and if you define cryptographic boundaries
properly) dm-crypt and LUKS have no serious issues here.

The main problem is proper RNG and crypto use (you have
to use only approved RNG and only certified crypto library),
and it cannot be isolated from the kernel certification etc.

So there are no principal problems I know about but
still some changes are needed (some of them are really
formal).
