rump_cgd

[Steven Harp]

Thanks, Josef (and Sebastian). Given your reluctance to reactive
rump cgd, what better alternatives would you suggest adopting or
developing for disk and/or file-system encryption in Genode?
dm_crypt, Veracrypt, CryFS, ... ?  It would be nice to have a
light-weight solution; maybe something could be integrated in libc_fuse?
