I'm mostly wondering about lifetimes of these parameters. They are used
in different phases of the cryptomount: some are used only at the time
of discovery, while others are used at decryption time, where it's not
immediately clear which parameters are used when without having a look
at the cryptodisk implementations. That's why I was thinking it might
make more sense to split them up by those phases such that this becomes
explicit.
