When you say "loop mount code" I presume you mean legacy initrd support (which doesn't use loop mounting.) Legacy initrd support is provided to be as compatible as possible, obviously.

Yes.
To create the initrd you needed a loop file, at least for ext2, minix etc.

But so far, the arguments are not convincing that kinit has to be in the
kernel tree.

Two are IMO fairly plain:

* Makes sure you can boot the kernel you just built.

* Makes it easier to move stuff between kernel and userspace.
