Feature Request
When creating a LUKS volume the options --hw-opal or --hw-opal-only can be used to enable hardware encryption on drives that support it. In the case of --hw-opal-only it offloads encryption to the hardware entirely, reducing CPU usage.
Environment
Bare metal, SSDs supporting OPAL
Other Information
I had tried to do this by including --hw-opal-only in the options field of a LUKS volume configuration, but it fails because cryptsetup expects, in addition to the encryption key, an OPAL admin password on stdin.
Desired Feature
Also generate the OPAL admin password, perhaps use the same key for both in case of --hw-opal-only?
