I've been told that it was mostly excluded because the pristine source
doesn't include cryptoloop and nobody had expressed much interest in the
CryptoAPI.
I patched it into 2.4.24 a while back, but I've misplaced my patch. You may
be able to find it in the uml-devel archives. Basically I just did the
following:
- Apply a cryptoloop patch (I forget if I was using cryptoloop-jari or
cryptoloop-hvr, it was whichever was larger at the time because the smaller
one didn't behave well with encrypted swap).
- Apply a UML patch.
- Alter the arch/um config files to include the CryptoAPI and cryptoloop
config options.
It seemed to work quite well at the time.
If you're not in any rush and don't want to do it yourself, e-mail me back.
I'll probably be getting back to UML in a more serious way in a couple of
weeks, at which point I'll do something similar for 2.4.25 (or whatever the
latest 2.4 kernel with a stable UML patch is at the time).
