Quoting /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.keyctl :
The current state for dm-crypt in Linux is that it is single threaded, thus
every dm-crypt mapping only uses a single core for crypto operations. To
use the full power of your many-core processor it is thus necessary to
split the dm-crypt device. For Linux software raid arrays the easiest
segmentation is to just put the dm-crypt layer below the software raid
layer.
However, this seems no longer true since 2.6.38, cf.

Therefore encrypting the array (instead of assembling an array of encrypted
disks) shouldn't cause a performance cost. Also, it makes the ramdisk much
easier to configure :-)

The non-blocking PRNG /dev/urandom doesn't block if it has been seeded
enough, sadly (e.g., if the entropy pool is empty). Reading a few bytes
from the *blocking* should ensure that "the kernel RNG has [...] reach
full entropy at least once, which guarantees cryptographic quality of
the rest of the /dev/urandom stream." -- Tor bug #10676
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10676

When compiling for x86_86 on a i386 machine or vice versa, the following
warning appears:
dpkg-architecture: warning: specified GNU system type x86_64-linux-gnu does not match gcc system type i486-linux-gnu, try setting a correct CC environment variable
However this is harmless, even if the multilib approach is a bit hacky
and does not replace a proper cross-compiler. Cf. bug #712000

Run 'ARCH=amd64 make' to preseed an AMD64 ISO image, etc.

To be clearer, and to follow the recommendation of the FSF, we include
a full header rather than a single sentence.

Replaced [ -n "$string" ] with [ "$string" ], and [ -z "$string" ] with
[ ! "$string" ].

'syslog' is meant for the messages generated internally by syslogd,
whereas 'user' is for user-level messages.

Move preseed-related stuff in ./preseed/, and vm-related stuff in
./virtualenv/.
