Kernel 2.4.2-ac3.

 FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND
    40 0 425 1 -1 -20 0 0 down DW< ? 0:00 (loop0)

>From a look at the source it seems that this may be normal behavior
(though I'm not sure). However, it's still cosmetically annoying,
because it throws off the load average (a D state process is counted
as "running" for the loadavg calculation).

My loopback-mounted fs seems to be working fine, nevertheless, which
is a nice change from previous kernels.
