Yes, I want to add encrypted root filesystem support to anaconda unsing
loopback encryption.  In order to do this, I need 2.6 (or kerneli.org's 2.4
patch) because loop.h has cryptoloop-related additions.  I suppose I could
just apply the relevant portions of the 2.4 cryptoloop patch to
glibc-kernheaders.  I would like to see this cryptoloop stuff upstream,
though.

Hopefully I'm on the right track now, thanks.
