not yet, unfortunately. see

the patch is minimal and contained in that bug report, 
and it works (on the machine i'm typing this on at least). 
my version of util-linux is 2.11z-1 plus that one patch, which
affects only the mount package.

there's one ugly side effect of that patch, though: losetup now /always/
asks for a keysize and password, even if you want to mount a bog-standard
iso9660 image with no encryption whatsoever.

>In other words: the only kernel patch needed is the jars cryptloop patch ?

correct. also the cryptoloop-source or cryptoapi-core-source packages 
are no longer necessary.
