I've tried it again now with opensuse 11.1 ( CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m )
and ubuntu 9.04 ( CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y ).

I made some very trivial changes in the source code of loop-aes and the
util-linux patches  ( in the main, I've renamed functions like
loop_unregister_transfer , and used different ioctls and a different
block major number for loop-aes)

After that, I was able to use the mainline loop driver (loop.ko,
unpatched version of losetup and blockdevices at/dev/loop[0-7]) and
loop-aes ( xloop*.ko, a patched version of losetup
and /dev/xloop[0-7] ) at the same time and without any obvious problems.

So I wonder, if there are any deeper conflicts between mainline loop
and loop-aes, so they should not be used in parallel?
