Right now it's mainly an architectural thing.

- The original blktap duplicated a lot of what originally 
  constituted just blkback.

- Access to virtual disk images from within dom0 gets 
  more straightforward. Which matters a lot for some things dom0 can

- Request dispatch between kernel and userspace will get way more
  efficient at some point.

- Blktap on non-Xen systems ...
