There's no loop.c-2.6.original in the 3.2a/3.2b distributions.
I'm using 3.2a and made some mods to the driver.
Looking at linus's git tree, there were substantial changes made to
loop.c since May.
FYI:
diff -u loop-AES-v3.2a/loop.c-2.6.patched
loop-AES-v3.2b/loop.c-2.6.patched | diffstat
loop.c-2.6.patched | 89

I've modified the loop driver so it can run alongside the standard loop
driver in the kernel (this was when systems had them build in instead of
modulized).
I had the ability to:
default to another name besides /dev/loop* (I used loopAES)
runtime assignment of major numbers (so there's no conflict with
the
standard loop)
This was easier than to recompile/modify all the kernels I was using
(and tell everyone I was supporting they "had to run a new kernel".
