Thanks for the summary. It looks good to me. Something else to keep mind is the potential to reuse IV generators. Recently a patch has been proposed for fscrypt that also makes use of essiv (search for "fscrypt: Add support for AES-128-CBC"). It would be great if we could reuse the same code for both dm-crypt and fscrypt.
