The whole cipher code thing is just posturing. eCryptfs could just as
easily write the cipher string out to the metadata and then pass that
verbatim to the crypto API on sys_open(). There's no hard-and-fast
rule that dictates that eCryptfs absolutely has to write anything out
to the metadata in any particular format.
