[dm-crypt] renaming of device

[Arno Wagner <arno@wagner.name>]

Cryptsetup seems to report the device in /dev/scsi/*
if they are present, instead of the device name 
mappings were created with. So I created with /dev/sdd
and status tells me I have /dev/scsi/sdh4-0c0i0l0,
which is really a problem because it could cause me 
to confuse devices and map them twice or the like.

Is there an easy way to map this back or turn off this
behaviour or list both device names? What I do at the 
moment is to look at major and minor of the reported 
device and than look up which traditional device this 
matches.

If this is a fundamental problem, I will likely
write a wrapper (something like crypt-status)
that does the lookup for me, but maybe there is 
an easier solution?
