And you just created hard dependence on encrypted key type...

If you disable this type (CONFIG_ENCRYPTED_KEYS option), it cannot load the module anymore:
ERROR: modpost: "key_type_encrypted" [drivers/md/dm-crypt.ko] undefined!

We had this idea before, and this implementation in dm-crypt just requires dynamic
key type loading implemented first.

David Howells (cc) promised that moths ago, but apparently nothing was yet submitted
(and the proof-of-concept patch no longer works).

Mike, I think you should revert this patch from the tree until it is solved.

Once fixed, we should also support "trusted" key type.

Also please -  do no forget to increase dm-crypt minor version here...

Thanks,
Milan
