Great thanks a bunch.

Here is the scatterlist+"Le Patch de Christophe":

Reguarding dm-crypt:
I didn't get a response back when suggesting we store IV and MAC info for
each block. Can we do this? Can I do this? Where's the source, in
2.3.6-main? I'd like to implement this IV and optional OMAC stuff for
encrypted filesyetems (I assume that's that dm-crypt is replacing)
