[9fans] Encrypting file systems

[jaketodd422@gmail.com (Jacob Todd)]

What i called cdfs was actually something for inferno, written in limbo.
It's on contrib, but I've already forgot where and what it's actual name
was. Cryptfs is either fs(3) or kfs(4) with block level encryption, i have
no idea which. It probably wasn't added because it wasn't 'critical' for
using the system.
