Ian Main 9ba230d4f2 Use loop-control to allocate loop device. 
This patch changes virFileLoopDeviceOpen() to use the new loop-control
device to allocate a new loop device.  If this behavior is unsupported
we fall back to the previous method of searching /dev for a free device.

With this patch you can start as many image based LXC domains as you
like (well almost).

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
