Yes, this new dm-target type is designed for the Full-Disk Encryption with inline encryption hardware used scenario. I believe it's necessary as dm-crypt only provide software encryption, the hardware acceleration provided by the inline encryption hardware for Full-Disk Encryption is always what the customer wants, like File-based Encryption with Inline Crypto Engine supported.
