dm-crypt can already activate TCRYPT (TrueCrypt compatible) containers
in LRW or XTS block encryption mode.

TCRYPT containers prior to version 4.1 use CBC mode with some additional
tweaks, this patch adds support for these containers.

This new mode is implemented using special IV generator named TCW
(TrueCrypt IV with whitening).  TCW IV only supports containers that are
encrypted with one cipher (Tested with AES, Twofish, Serpent, CAST5 and
TripleDES).

While this mode is legacy and is known to be vulnerable to some
watermarking attacks (e.g. revealing of hidden disk existence) it can
still be useful to activate old containers without using 3rd party
software or for independent forensic analysis of such containers.

(Both the userspace and kernel code is an independent implementation
based on the format documentation and it completely avoids use of
original source code.)

The TCW IV generator uses two additional keys: Kw (whitening seed, size
