It may be related to commit 1eb0cc30 where loop_get_partition_range was
added. It reads from '/sys/module/loop/parameters/max_part' which on my
F15 system (kernel 2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64) returns 0.

Partitioned loop devices certainly do work, so I think this is an error.
I also am not sure what will happen with systems where loop is not a
module.
