What is the broken thing that you are trying to fix with this patch?
The current code works fine and treats all tap-based devices equally,
while this new code special-cases certain tap-based drivers (aio and
sync).

Hi,
        Currently, we mount all blktap disks for pygrub so that it can boot
from e.g. QCOW images. However, since pygrub will handle a raw image
just fine without mounting through blktap, we shouldn't bother in that
case.

        Also, it looks like XendDomainInfo.create_vbd() takes the full disk
uname rather than the image path.

Cheers,
Mark.
