Is it possible to have cryptoloop in future kernels? Such that, those of us paranoid enough can have encrypted filesystems and swap.

And is device mapper removed because of xen? Namely, I'm looking for crypto target (CONFIG_DM_CRYPT).

Thanks!

Hmm, I'm wondering, why bother? Encrypted anything gives offline protection only and only makes sense if your system is 100% secured when it's online. Which is not the case (no offense, Matt, I'm just being "paranoiod"). Not to mention obvious technical problems.
