Well I spent a little time on this and I have a working implementation but I took a different approach, being that LUKS is a wrapper around dm-crypt. What I have done is added plain support to "cryptomount". I have also extended the LUKS functionality to support detached headers and key files. Key data may be read from within a file by providing an offset and, for LUKS, the number of bytes to read (defaults to whole file, up to a compiled-in maximum). What's the best way to contribute this? I read your suggestion about opeining a bug and did that with my uuid patch, only to have someone suggest that patches go on the mailing list. Do let me know how I should submit my patches. I have, meanwhile, put up a page describing my changes and the patches are there. I've also put my repo on Github. See http://grub.johnlane.ie for the details.
