I've looked how the existing code uses lo_blocksize and this whole thing
confuses me to no end.  Can we have all the blocksize assignments (i.e.
including the existing lo_blocksize assignments) in one single place and
documented?  Especialy as it seems so far lo_blocksize seems to be
the "fs" blocksize as set by set_blocksize, which seems totally wrong
to be set by loop at all.

No need for the inner braces.  Also please find a way to have a
descriptive name for the field, be that an anonymous union, or a #define.

Same comment about the inner braces here.

I'd say drop all the arguments but lo here (maybe in a prep patch) as
passing them all seems pointless and confusing.
