GELI changes?

[Krassimir Slavchev]

Hi All,

On FreeBSD 8 & 9 I was able to use GELI on preloaded image providing
keys either via loader.conf or via custom usb driver.
On FreeBSD 11 & CURRENT I can not make usb drivers to load before GELI
(e.g. MODULE_DEPEND(g_eli, my_usb_device, 1, 1, 1) in g_eli.c). Also,
loading keys from loader.conf is not working (Cannot decrypt Master Key)
which may be related to current EFI changes. On CURRENT loading keys
from loader.conf produces kernel panic because cryptosoft is not
initialized (opencrypto/crypto.c:497, CRYPTO_DRIVER_LOCK() spin mutex
(null)).

So, could we load USB layer before GELI?
Is there a way to re-taste a GEOM provider a bit later but before root
mount?

Best regards,
