dm-plain encryption support does not work with fixed harddisk #31

TDE version: R14.1.0 dev

install TDE on VM
Create a luks disk on a brand new disk (see here). This steps is only required to make the disk visible to Konqueror (see #30)
Overwrite previous step and create a dm-plain encrypted disk (see here).
Try to open disk from konqueror: after entering the password an error is display about the disk not been removable

NOTE: if the disk is listed in /etc/pmount.allow, the disk is mountable. Would be good to find a solution that allows to mount the disk without requiring such change, if possible

udisks2 does not seem to support plain dm crypt disks (not that I can find at least). After discussion with @SlavekB, it has been decided that support for plain dm encrypted devices won't be provided as of now. Those disks can still be open/closed from CLI if needed.
