To quibble terminology:  Linux will probably detect those filesystems, even if 
it can't actually read them.

If there is a system that becomes common, or common on devices Linux 
developers like, it will most likely have some sort of support, given that 
you'll be able to do a 1:1 mapping of the data and determine the encryption 
process.

Encryption systems that remain restricted to a small number of niche devices 
probably won't get implemented.
