Sorry, my English is ugly and mind is broken (final grammar school
examination in 3 days, ouch...). It would be nice to be able to specify
also "loop_sizes[dev]" value by similiar mount option as "offset" is.
This would override the value obtained by figure_loop_size().
The whole change unfortunately requires modifications also in "mount"
and "losetup".


Thanks, Jan Kratochvil
