It just means that the device file exists which is independend of the kernel
handler for block device (7,x).
So you should check your Linux kernel configuration. Loopback device
support has to be enabled in .config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y
And in /sys/block also some entries have to be present, normally
/sys/block/loop0 to /sys/block/loop7.
