Anthony Liguori had a reasonable suggestion - which works ok for backlevel
compat and does not in any cases make things worse as far as I can tell -
add a password length parm (e.g. "lengthpassword") which must precede the
password mount parm in the string and if present is used by the kernel
code to treat the next n bytes as the password. It does require a kernel
change to recognize it, but it does not make things worse if the kernel
change is not present.
