Applied, thanks!

I have a little bit changed the command line option to:

    --direct-io[=on|off]

where the default is "on", so you can use:

    losetup -f --direct-io file.img

to enable direct-io, to disable you have to use:

    losetup --direct-io=off /dev/loop0

I guess the most common usage will be to enable direct I/O :-)
