[dm-devel] [PATCH] crypto: bewbi IV, big endian wide block count for ABL-32-AES

From: Rik Snel <rsnel at cube.dyndns.org>

ABL-32-AES needs a certain IV. This IV should be provided dm-crypt.
The block cipher mode could, in principle, generate the correct IV from
the plain IV, but I think that it is cleaner to supply the right IV
directly.

The sector -> wide block calculation is currently just a conversion
to bigendian and an increment, but if dm-crypt will support cypher
blocksizes larger than 512 bytes (which would be interesting for
wide blocks) the conversion will include a shift also.
