In linux kernel since version 3.1 (release Date: 2011-10-24)
Static number of loop devices to be unconditionally pre-created
at init time.
This default value can be overwritten on the kernel command
line or with module-parameter loop.max_loop.
The historic default is 8. If a late 2011 version of losetup(8)
is used, it can be set to 0, since needed loop devices can be
dynamically allocated with the /dev/loop-control interface.
