Is there anything from libcryptsetup you want to use or it is just about
kernel code?

If you want to use code from cryptsetup (cryptsetup/lib/verity/*), what exactly
you need and which licence is ok for you (GPL2+ or LGPL?)
(GPL3 will be incompatible with other cryptsetup code.)

Hm. I _thought_ I could adapt lib/verity/verity_hash.c for what I need, but it appears to only support a whole-disk verification, not verification of individual blocks. That said, if you're willing to take patches to extend libverity's API, I can add the functionality I need. I believe that GPLv2+ should work fine for GRUB.

I'm talking with Mikulas about whether the kernel code can be relicensed, since that is closer to what I'm trying to do.
