Thanks Jari,
I tried the patch, and did get it to work, but only with a kludge.

As you had observer the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was 132635 (0x2061b) from
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h

BIO_VMERGE_BOUNDARY was defined in include/asm/io_64.h, from
include/asm/io.h from /include/linux/bio.h

Kludge: I put a line in after all of the includes in loop.c-2.6.patched
#undef BIO_VMERGE_BOUNDARY

and that seemed to make it work, it now succesfully mounts my exisiting
drive.
