Looks like a wrong tool chain: http://marc.info/?l=xen-
users&m=118006289926676&w=2. I asked him for some more details on his
build environment.

It's not the kernel team alone that "dislikes" blktap, take a look at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-xen/trunk/xen-3.0/debian/patches/
blktap-disable.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0. Or am I too green thinking
that the Kernel and Xen packing teams talked about dropping blktap? ;-)
