Unfortunately, it also added a new bug: in backing out some other
changes I'd accidentally reverted to a version of the patch with some
experimental changes to the file I/O workqueue. This was incomplete and
harms performance for file mapped loop devices.

The attached version changes this back to the previous per-loop device
workqueue.

Apologies for the confusion.

Kind regards,

Bryn.
