>     Adds ephemeral storage encryption for LVM back-end images
> 
>     This patch adds ephemeral storage encryption for LVM back-end
> instances.
>     Encryption is implemented by passing all data written to and read
> from
>     the logical volumes through a dm-crypt layer. Most instance
> operations
>     such as pause/continue, suspend/resume, reboot, etc. are
supported.
>     Snapshots are also supported but are not encrypted at present. VM
> rescue
>     and migration are not supported at present.
> 
>     The proposed code provides data-at-rest security for all ephemeral
>     storage disks, preventing access to data while an instance is
>     shut down, or in case the compute host is shut down while an
> instance is
>     running.
> 
>     Options controlling the encryption state, cipher and key size are
>     specified in the "ephemeral_storage_encryption" options group. The
> boolean
>     "enabled" option turns encryption on and off and the "cipher" and
> "key_size"
>     options specify the cipher and key size, respectively.
> 
>     Note: depends on cryptsetup being installed.
