No. My module will allow opening of LUKS-encrypted partitions (including 
root partitions) at boot up time before the kernel loads using udev. 
Currently this is only possible with password authentication, which is 
rather primitive and not flexible enough. The module will dramatically 
extend the range of options and also allow for tokens to be used to 
read/unlock LUKS-encrypted partitions.

When you catch up you'll see that this was the sole reason I subscribed 
to this mailing list a while ago - to find out whether using a 
'stripped-down' version of openct/opensc is possible so that I fit it in 
in the bare-bone initrd/initramfs structure so that it can be executed 
allowing smartcard tokens to be read.
