Stand by please :)

I like the patch, I think all major problems were solved, but I still need to test it somehow.

Anyway, for the time being, I keep all ongoing patches that need some later
userspace support in my branch
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mbroz/linux.git/log/?h=dm-cryptsetup
so at least it get some automated testing.
