Strange.  I haven't changed cryptsetup but now I don't get this
message anymore.  I simply get:

foobar:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 x
Enter LUKS passphrase:
Enter LUKS passphrase:
Enter LUKS passphrase:
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.

But I'm sure I've typed the passphrase correctly, and it works on my
x86 box (on which I created the LUKS partition).

This works:

foobar:~# cat map
0 1954808 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 a0671e89e060742caf3f9a3e7d762b24 0 /dev/sdb2 1032
foobar:~# dmsetup create x map
foobar:~# mount /dev/mapper/x /mnt
foobar:~# ls -l /mnt
total 20
