Subject: Announce loop-AES-v2.0c file/swap crypto package

loop-AES changes since previous release:
- Fixed util-linux patch so it compiles on boxes where C library is compiled
against 2.6 kernel headers.
- Fixed SMP race that could corrupt data if all following conditions are
met: (1) loop device is in multi-key mode, (2) SMP or UP+PREEMPT box, (3)
shared writable mappings to a file, (4) memory mapped file data modified
at same time as that same data is being encrypted inside loop transfer
function, and (5) unclean shutdown so that re-dirtied page won't get
written again.

Additional ciphers package changes since previous release:
- Fixed SMP race in loop_twofish and loop_serpent modules that could corrupt
data if all following conditions are met: (1) loop device is in multi-key
mode, (2) SMP or UP+PREEMPT box, (3) shared writable mappings to a file,
(4) memory mapped file data modified at same time as that same data is
being encrypted inside loop transfer function, and (5) unclean shutdown so
that re-dirtied page won't get written again.
