Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Allow blktap to build as a module
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.2.061213
IIRC blktap doesn't straightforwardly build and work as a module. Some code
cleanup is required (getting rid of zap_page_range()?). There's no point in
taking the trivial Makefile fragment until that is fixed satisfactorily.
