Everything that can be encrypted with dm-crypt can also be encrypted with loop-AES. For example, my laptop has two hard drives. I have a raid0 array with hda2 and hdd2. Loop-AES encrypts /dev/md0, giving me /dev/loop/0. That in turn is a physical volume for LVM2, which gives me the logical devices for all of my filesystems (except /boot, obviously) and swap. >Oh.
