This patchset proposes a method for encrypting in EXT4 data read and
write paths. It's a proof-of-concept/prototype only right
now. Outstanding issues:

 * While it seems to work well with complex tasks like a parallel
   kernel build, fsx is pretty good at reliably breaking it in its
   current form. I think it's trying to decrypt a page of all zeros
   when doing a mmap'd write after an falloc. I want to get feedback
   on the overall approach before I spend too much time bug-hunting.
Can I keep just a subtree (/home/pavel/.ssh) encrypted?
Ok, as far as I can tell no, this is whole filesystem encryption for
now. I guess encrypting based on some attribute is planned...?

Best regards,
									Pavel
