Ha, this is exciting, vanilla 3.6.4 works, with -rt10 patch it does not.

Copying in linux-rt-users.

To recap, 3.6 RT seems to break dm-crypt. Try it like this:

cryptsetup --debug --key-file=- luksOpen /some/luks/formatted/file any-label

And kernel will fail like this:

Kernel says this:
      device-mapper: table: 252:1: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
      device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

I think crypto modules are not getting auto loaded for some reason, but 
even if I load them manually before hand and still breaks in the same way.

Maybe someone will have a "ah yes" moment? Here is the diff between 
working (vanilla 3.6.4) and non-working (3.6.4-rt10) configs:
