I have to ask one more question: Can you (or anyone else on the list) test
same changes for 2.2.20 kernel with 2048 hard sector size? I will post new
diff on the list if someone promises to test it.

Same bug was present in all loop-AES supported kernels (2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and
2.5). I have fixed the bug in 2.2 and 2.0 loop drivers. 2.5 still has that
bug, and there is no easy way to fix that currently. In 2.5 all loop devices
_share_ same hard sector size... OUCH.
