Good news! I'll be rerolling my three patch series in the following days
then which implement:

    - Argon2 support for LUKS2.

    - An extension of the EFI memory allocator to request additional
      areas on demand. This is mainly required for Argon2 support given
      that it requires huge chunks of memory.

    - osprober support for LUKS2.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
