Hello Chris,

/me of little patience gave up (maybe too early), and continue to use

busybox losetup ... /dev/cloop*

instead of linux-utils busybox.

I still think that losetup should not check the major device numbers of
loop-devices at all and just do what we expect.

On the other hand, most users won't ever invoke losetup, and those who
do, can just use busybox instead (for cloop).

Regards
-Klaus Knopper
