There's no reason there could not be a userland tool that would read
the underlying device and decrypt it (either writing back an unencrypted
filesys, or copying the data to another device/file).

I havem't looked carefully yet, but does vnd have the RMW behaviour to
allow an emulated small sector drive to exist on a big sector underlying.
I can see that it works if VNF_USE_VN_RDWR gets set (sparse file, weird
underlying device, ...) but I don't see anything that validates the
sector sizes (but I might just be missing it.)
