Good question :-) The loop-control is optional (from the code point of view). If the system does not have control file (old kernels) and on command line specified loop device does not exist then it will end with open() error later (in loopcxt_setup_device()). Yes, we can improve the main() and add an error message there, but no sure how usable it will be for end-users (open() errors are pretty obvious compare to all possible situations in loopcxt_add_device()).
