Recent -mm kernels include VFS updates from Al Viro, and they are completely
incompatible with interface in Linus' kernels. Last time I checked,
loop-AES-v1.7e + 20030922 update didn't compile cleanly on recent -mm
kernels. There were some scary warnings.
As of this writing it is unclear if those VFS updates will make to Linus'
tree any time soon. Loop-AES' 2.6 kernel interface follow Linus' kernel
interface, and currently do not work with -mm kernels. 2.6.0-test8 is out,
but I still haven't tested that. Will do that later today.
When/if Al Viro's VFS changes get merged to Linus' tree, loop-AES' 2.6
kernel interface will be updated to that new interface. Until then, loop-AES
only works with Linus' 2.6 kernels.
