ifconfig(8) expects interface fooX to be supported by the module if_foo,

and will try to load it if it's not present.  To better meet these
expectations, change the module name for the loopback interface from
'loop' to 'if_lo'.  The loopback interface is always compiled into the
base kernel, so there are no resulting changes in kld files, etc.
