#296464: initrd and encrypted swapfiles

[Richard Kettlewell <rjk@greenend.org.uk>]

Hello,

I sent this to debian-devel but judging by the archive pages it did
not get through.  debian-kernel may be a better choice of destination
anyway.

Summary of bug: kernels that use initrd cannot boot systems with
encrypted swap files that get their key from /dev/random.

Daniel's patch works for me.

Since some systems cannot be booted using a distribution kernel
without this fix, please could it, or something equivalent, be
included in future versions, and distribution kernels that include
initrds built against it?

Thanks in advance.
