dm crypt: add ability to use keys from the kernel key retention service
The kernel key service is a generic way to store keys for the use of other subsystems. Currently there is no way to use kernel keys in dm-crypt. This patch aims to fix that. Instead of key userspace may pass a key description with preceding ':'. So message that constructs encryption mapping now looks like this: <cipher> [<key>|:<key_string>] <iv_offset> <dev_path> <start> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>] where <key_string> is in format: <key_size>:<key_type>:<key_description> Currently we only support two elementary key types: 'user' and 'logon'. Keys may be loaded in dm-crypt either via <key_string> or using classical method and pass the key in hex representation directly. dm-crypt device initialised with a key passed in hex representation may be replaced with key passed in key_string format and vice versa.
