We should have a quick test of what the compatibility between the
devices turns out to be. From a quick code inspection, it looks
like the blowfish-cbc modes are compatible on LE machines, but we
should test it out. cgdconfig(8) inputs passphrases and turns them
into keys slightly differently, but we could come up with a document
that describes how to get that to work.
