I'm not sure this is relevant, but I wondered if the KERNCONF syntax
"pseudo-device loop [count]" holds like it does for
"pseudo-device ppp [count]", to create, say, a "lo1" device, but
there's no loop(4) man page like there is a ppp(4) man page.
(Anyone want to write a loop(4) man page? I don't.)
I only looked at source as far as /sys/net/if_loop.c where it appears
to me that multiple "lo" devices are supported. I suppose they would
assigned numbers other than "127.0.0.1".
