CentOS - Apr 2009 - options netloop nloopbacks=<n> ignored

Hi list, 

since release 5.3 all kernels ignore 

options netloop nloopbacks=<n> 

within /etc/modprobe.conf

If <n> is smaller than four there are always four
vifs created. 
If <n> is bigger than four the appropriate number
of vifs are created. 

Is this expected/new/feature/bug?

Forgot to add that this probably came from

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=358281

where I have no access to.
