Network Bound Disk Encryption - External Tang Server IBM Power and IBM zSystems

Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

As part of our compliance work, we've discovered some dependencies that limit the number of profiles we can deliver without delivering external components. This feature aims to introduce support for LUKS devices speaking directly to a tang server in a secure network.
