GELI support on /boot folder

Hi,
I was discussing with Kris Moore about adding support for GELI in
bootloader as a GSoC project,
thus the /boot folder could be encrypted.
However the stage 2 boot program has a limit size of  ~8 Kb which is almost
reached in the default
HEAD src.
Thus I would like to know your thoughts about this project, if it is
viable, and what can be done to
overcome these 8 Kb limit.


Thanks,
Pedro.
