LOOP-AES kernel and util support

Hey,

I am a fan of loopaes the problem is updates, everytime a new kernel comes out I must d/l the kernel copy the .config
than menually disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP to N instead of Y or M
recompile the kernel and recompile the loopaes and util-linux with a patch.

My suggestion is that there will be an option to update automatically to kernel with disabled CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP
so atleast I wont have to recompile the kernel after every update which takes alot of time.
(Of course it will help if u will have util-linux patched with loopaes and gpgnu but that the easy stuff)

I noticed Debian and Centos both have modified kernels but i really like my arch so please see what u can do to help.
Sincerely,
Loyal arch user.

Don't expect this any time soon. If you want less work for yourself, switch to dm-crypt.

Re: LOOP-AES kernel and util support

Can anyone make a PKGBUILD for the lts kernel with the loop-aes patch?
