Most likely, the loops are to add tie out/down lines to keep the rainfly from contacting the body of the tent. This greatly improves ventilation, and keeps condensation from forming and dripping INSIDE the tent.

My Kelty G2 has them as well. If I don't tie the rainfly out, it flaps in the wind, keeping me awake.

TIP: Using retro-reflective lines to tie the fly out will help to keep you from tripping over them in the dark, possibly tearing your fly.
