Subject: Announce loop-AES-v3.0b file/swap crypto package

loop-AES changes since previous release:
- Fixed externally compiled module version multi-key-v3 ioctl
incompatibility with boxes running 64 bit kernel and 32 bit userland.
Kernel patch versions were not affected (2.4 and 2.6 kernels).
- Fixed bug that made v3 on-disk format always use file backed code path on
some 2.6 kernels that did not have LO_FLAGS_DO_BMAP defined. No data loss,
but file backed code path is not journaled file system safe. Same bug also
had cosmetic side effect of "losetup -a" status query always displaying
file backed v2 on-disk format as v3 on-disk format.
