OOO - and for crypto -

we could just have an 'auto-crypto' devfs that makes any registered disk 
device available under e.g.

/dev/cdisk/SERNO

(e.g. allocate driver structure upon accessing this file)

with an ioctl for getting / setting crypto keys..

maybe some devfs configuration to do this - or disable, etc.

hmm..
