I expect that this isn't possible -- dmraid works on "biosraid" , that
is, bios-exposed raid metadata.  Since /dev/loop* is entirely a linux
kernel construct (no bios), dmraid won't do anything.

That said, I also recall that isw-based bios raid is actualy implemented
through 'mdraid' (ie, manageable via mdadm) now, isn't it?
