I thought I'd tested it. (You had me worried) zap_page_range() got exported in 12678:260426e3924f as part of the virtual frame buffer patch.

If Jan has a patch that doesn't change the name, that would be better. I didn't much like the name change, but I was being lazy.

I had posted a patch for this quite a while back (no clue why it wasn't picked

though allowing the module to be more logically named blktap.ko. I'd really
dislike to
now have a blktp.ko. Jan

The patch is against xen-unstable 13205:886f7312257e, but should also
apply to 3.0.4.
