The patch provided below retains backwards compatibility by introducing a new option "iv-method encblkno2" to cgdconfig. Existing cgd volumes with "iv-method encblkno" in the config file will still be handled as before. When creating a new cgd config file with cgdconfig, encblkno2 is now the default. Depending on the option chosen, cgd will now either divide the block length value by eight (to convert from bits to bytes) or not (the old behavior).
Just a thought on naming - you could rename the current
encblkno to encblkno8 and add a new encblkno1, plus having
the code still accept encblkno as an alias to encblkno8.
That would make the new names more understandable...
