[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/2] dm-crypt: Properly handle extra key string in initialization

Some encryption modes use extra keys (e.g. loopAES has IV seed)
which are not used in block cipher initialization but are part
of key string in table constructor.

Patch adds additional field which described lenght of this extra
keys and substracts it before real key encryption setting.

So the key_size always includes the size of provided key
in mapping table in bytes.

The key_parts descibes how many parts (usually keys) contains
the whole key buffer and key_extra_size contains size in bytes
of additional keys part (this number of bytes must be cut off
because is processed by IV generator).

| K1 | K2 | .... | K64 |      Kiv       |
|----------- key_size ----------------- |
|                      |-key_extra_size-|
|     [64 keys]           [1 key]       | => key_parts = 65

Example where key string contains main key K, whitening key
Kw and IV seed Kiv:

|     K       |   Kiv   |       Kw       |
|--------------- key_size ---------------|
|             |-----key_extra_size-------|
|  [1 key]    | [1 key] |     [1 key]    | => key_parts = 3

Because extra keys are calculated during IV mode setting,
key initialization is moved after this step.

For now, this change has no effect to supported modes
(thanks to ilog2 rounding) but is required by following patch.
