Thanks for the patch. I'm about to push this, too, but with a tiny adjustment to the log: s/3.0/3.2/, since for my purposes, loop partitioning appears not to be useful until linux-3.2. In particular, this kernel patch loop: always allow userspace partitions and optionally support automatic scanning (e03c8dd14915f) leads to /sys/devices/virtual/block/loop?/ext_range becoming 256
