It's basically a stub. The lock of the cipher_context can be removed since
post-2.5.58 a new call has been added which makes the IV an argument.
However, that's a minor change.

In case you want to test it, you need to patch losetup too, since it needs
to parse /proc/crypto.

p.s.: Andrew please send me carbon copies of your mails. Thanks.
