Subject[PATCH] Delete cryptoloop
This patch deletes cryptoloop, which is buggy, unmaintained, and
reportedly has mutliple security weaknesses. Dropping cryptoloop should
also help dm-crypt receive more testing and review.

I haven't updated the defconfigs, is this something for arch maintainers
to manage?
