a shorter way to integrate blktap?
  I've tried about a dozen ways.. the problem seems to be that blktap 
needs a patch that was rejected by the kernel maintainers in favour of 
an other incompatible one (and I guess that's debians problem - although 
from the response you got from the maintainer it sounds more like they 
just don't give a crap).  I've managed to get a debianised xen kernel as 
far as 2.6.21 (basically by cannibalising patches from the redhat 
kernels) but blktap just doesn't work.. 'Couldn't get fd for AIO poll 
support'
 Maybe I'll work out how to apply 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-04/txtj55WHkYDWz.txt 
- none of my kernels have this file though so it could be tricky, and I 
don't really have the time to fart around with kernel builds that much. 
 Might just wait until xen is in the kernel properly.
