[RFC PATCH 6/6] dm-crypt: Add bulk crypto processing support

This patch converts dm-crypt to use bulk requests when invoking skcipher operations, allowing the crypto drivers to process multiple sectors at once, while reducing the overhead caused by the small sector size. The new code detects if multiple sectors from a bio are contigously stored within a
