That's a good point, but one that is fairly easily fixed.

There's no reason why netback/loopback.c loopback_init isn't
parameterized and called multiple times to create e.g. 4 interfaces.

Could someone knock up a patch? The number should be controlled via a
module cmdline parameter, defaulting to e.g. 2 or 4.
