What is the rationale behind closing all /dev/mapper/luks-* devices 
which are not 'busy' in this shell script? Why would they have to be 
'busy' (I presume already mapped) to be left open?

I am asking this because when the smartcard module opens a LUKS drive 
(not root - '/') - this drive later to be mapped from the actual root 
/etc/fstab file as '/dev/mapper/luks-XXX /some/directory' - this 
operation does not succeed and I presume crypt-cleanup.sh closes it up 
before the actual root can get it and therefore it cannot be mapped.
