Hi Jens, this series sorts out lock order reversals involving the block layer open_mutex by drastically reducing the scope of loop_ctl_mutex. To do so it first merges the cryptoloop module into the main loop driver as the unregistrtion of transfers on live loop devices was causing some nasty locking interactions.
