I solved this by extracting the contents of the initrd produced by
fedora, adding the loop-aes stuff, and not messing up the components
that initialize selinux. The use of built-in nash commands for setup and
initialization in the initrd made it much easier than modifying the
build-initrd.sh script to include the selinux stuff.
