remove encryption options from mount and losetup?

Hi,

Is there any reason to still keep the encryption options in losetup and
mount around? They look entirely useless to me. Even when using passfd
and an external key generation function it's still broken as the key
size is fixed at 32 byte and the last byte is always set to '\0'.
So would a patch that removes encryption support completely be
acceptable?
