Actually, loop-AES' Makefile removes kernel's loop.o module. And it works OK
until one does "make modules_install" in kernel source directory. Then you
have two loop.o drivers, and you can't expect that to work OK.

If you _always_ build loop-AES' loop.o _after_ "make modules_install" in
kernel source directory, then you can use CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m in your
kernel .config
