See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html QUEUE_FLAG_NOMERGES isn't really a driver interface, but a user tunable. There also isn't any good reason to set it in the loop driver. The original commit adding it (5b5e20f421c0b6d "block: loop: set QUEUE_FLAG_NOMERGES for request queue of loop") claims that "It doesn't make sense to enable merge because the I/O submitted to backing file is handled page by page." which of course isn't true for multi-page bvec now, and it never has been for direct I/O, for which commit 40326d8a33d ("block/loop: allow request merge for directio mode") alredy disabled the nomerges flag.
