  add support for crypttab mounting of luks devices with detached
  headers

Bug description:
  A detached luks header for a luks device is a new feature in
  cryptsetup 1.4.  This is a feature request to allow the unlocking of
  luks devices with detached headers, both as a root device (ie in the
  initrd) as well as using the init system.

  system.
