why do you want to implement encryption in the raid engine,
we already have more than one implementation that plugs nicely over the
raid (dm-crypt or loop-AES), imho we don't need anither one, and it does
not belong in the raid driver anyway, it is better to stack multiple
components that do their job well, instead
