If I understand it correctly, I would need 'dm' in kernel (or module) and moreover I would need some userspace utilities/binaries.

So it is not in Kernel?
With current loop, people would need kernel patch and *no* userspace utilities. With dm-loop, people would need kernel patch *and* userspace utilities. So, from my point of view, it would be better to fix/enhance Linux's loop.
