Yeah, that's what I ended up doing.  I didn't include it in the official patch
since it was a complete hack, but here's what I did.  Of course the real
solution would be to update mkfs.ubifs and then just use _scratch_mkfs:

diff --git a/common/encrypt b/common/encrypt
index f09104d..261a1f7 100644
--- a/common/encrypt
