-d is key file for key slot (passphrase), volume (master) key for encryption
is generated using RNG during luksFormat inside cryptsetup.

You can use pre-generated master key using --master-key-file in cryptsetup 1.1.x
(but note it reads raw input, not hexa encoding). See man page.

You do not need to modify xts.c btw, try "dmsetup table --showkeys" for active
dm-crypt mappings to show used volume key.

(and also better use dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx mailing list for questions related to
userspace cryptsetup)
